Description
Introducing the Blue Sargent Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Sargent') – an easy-care evergreen shrub perfect for groundcover. With its dense growth habit, this low-maintenance plant not only enhances your landscape but also helps control erosion. Regular pruning of young branches encourages lush foliage, creating a vibrant display.
This Chinese juniper, originating from China, Japan, Mongolia, and the Himalayas, boasts green-blue foliage and adaptable forms. It can be a conical tree or a compact shrub with peeling bark on mature stems, adding texture to its visual appeal.
The Blue Sargent Juniper showcases two leaf types – scale-like (adult) and awl/needle-like (juvenile) – offering unique character. Male plants produce catkin-like pollen cones, while females bear whitish-blue seed cones maturing to violet-brown tones over two years.
