Standard Blue Juniper (commonly grafted from Blue Star or similar varieties) features a striking, globe-shaped canopy of icy blue foliage perched atop a straight trunk. This formal, lollipop-like form brings height and color contrast to small gardens, foundation beds, or decorative pots. Its needle-like foliage stays vibrant year-round, while its slow growth and natural compactness make it easy to maintain. Drought-tolerant and highly resilient, this standard form juniper thrives in sunny locations and poor soils with minimal care, making it both functional and eye-catching.
