Juniperus chinensis sargentii 'Glauca'

Blue Sargent Juniper is a handsome evergreen conifer producing a mound of feathery branches and blue foliage. The blue foliage of offers wonderful contrast when planted near plants with dark green, golden, yellow, purple, or red foliage. It's salt tolerance makes it a good selection for seaside plantings. Perfect for us in mass plantings on sunny slopes and landscape borders.

Growing to about 2 feet tall in a mound to 5 feet wide or more, the Blue Sargent Juniper is excellent for use as a groundcover on large to small slopes and embankments, as a border in landscape beds, or as a low-growing foundation shrub. It is equally useful in small groupings or as an underplanting for small trees such as the Japanese Maple and Crape Myrtle, to mention a few. It is ideal for use in conifer and Xeriscape (low water need) gardens.

Spacing:  4-5' for mass planting;  10' or more for space between plants

Blue Sargent Juniper is exceptionally easy to grow. It adapts well to most any average, well-drained soil and prefers full sun, however will tolerate some light shade. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. It is very low maintenance plant that requires no pruning and when established has very good drought tolerance.
