Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star'
Choose Blue Star Juniper for sunny, dry foundation edges or rock gardens where you want blue evergreen color without much pruning; the tradeoff is that it stays low and will not hide utilities, blank walls, or views quickly.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The blue foliage gives strong contrast in small plantings without taking over the bed. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It builds size at a restrained pace, which helps it stay tidy but limits quick coverage. |
| Maintenance | A | In the right well-drained site, it needs little more than occasional cleanup. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact mound works well near walks and foundations where taller evergreens would crowd. |
| Screening Value | D | It stays too low and open at eye level to serve as meaningful privacy planting. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Star Juniper as a front-of-bed evergreen accent, not the backbone of a planting. Give it drainage, keep mulch off the crown, and avoid crowding it with fast perennials.

It usually holds blue-gray color, though winter can dull the tone a bit.
Light touch-up is fine, but heavy shearing ruins the natural mound.
No; lean, well-drained soil is usually better than wet, over-amended soil.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
