Description This upright juniper cultivar is prized for its blue foliage with creamy white spots.

  Morphology:
A slow grow dwarf conifer that attains a height of 6’ but only 1’ in width at maturity. This fastigate (columnar) shape is retained over the life of this shrub. The scale-like blue colored foliage is held tightly against the branches. The white cream colored foliage is most notable on the tips of branches.

  Adaptation:
Rocky Mountain junipers are known for their ability to survive well in the intermountain West on dry sites. This cultivar will do best on sunny sites.

  Pests:
None reported.
