A low-growing, compact evergreen shrub with striking silvery-blue needles and a dense, mounded habit. Its small, star-shaped form makes it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and foundation plantings.
This juniper grows best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is excellent for drought tolerance once established and is moderately tolerant of wind, but it prefers some protection from heavy salt exposure.
