How to Plant Blue Star Juniper

Choose the Right Spot

Your Blue Star Juniper thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This ensures healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Well-drained soil is key. If your soil is heavy clay, amend it with sand to improve drainage. Blue Star Juniper tolerates a range of pH but prefers slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil.

Measure the Space

At maturity, a Blue Star Juniper will reach 1-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. When planting multiple Blue Star Junipers, space them 4 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Dig the Hole

Dig a hole that’s twice as wide as the root ball of your Blue Star Juniper and just as deep.

Plant It

Gently remove your Blue Star Juniper from its pot. Loosen any tightly bound roots if necessary. Position the plant in the center of the hole so the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with the excavated soil, tamping gently to remove air pockets.

Water Thoroughly

Give your newly planted Blue Star Juniper a deep watering to soak the root ball and surrounding soil.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot. Mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. During the first year, water regularly, ideally once a week, or more frequently during hot, dry spells. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

Why Choose Blue Star Juniper?

This low-maintenance wonder thrives on neglect. Its captivating silver-blue foliage adds a touch of beauty, while its compact form ensures a tidy, polished look. Beyond its effortless beauty, the Blue Star Juniper is surprisingly resilient. Deer turn up their noses, harsh winters hold no fear, and even forgetful watering schedules are forgiven. It’s the perfect fit for busy lives and a guaranteed conversation starter for admiring guests.
