Juniperus chinensis Blue Alps

Common Name:
Blue Alps Chinese Juniper

Description:
Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Alps' is a hardy, medium-sized evergreen conifer known for its striking silvery-blue foliage and dense, upright growth habit. Its finely textured, needle-like leaves have a slightly spiky appearance, adding both colour and structure to gardens year-round. Highly adaptable, this juniper thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun but can tolerate part shade. Drought-resistant once established, 'Blue Alps' is perfect for use as a specimen plant, screening, hedging, or even in large pots. Its resilience to harsh conditions and minimal maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for both formal and informal landscapes.
