Product Description

Juniperus scopulorum ‘Blue Arrow’ is a highly attractive evergreen conifer that combines vivid blue foliage with a naturally narrow, upright form. Its elegant silhouette makes it an excellent choice for adding height and structure to garden borders without creating a bulky canopy.

Growing to approximately 2.5m tall under suitable conditions, this compact ornamental juniper is particularly useful in smaller gardens, contemporary planting schemes and formal landscapes. Plant it as a focal point, use it to frame an entrance or pathway, or position several plants in a row for a refined architectural effect.

Its blue foliage contrasts beautifully with green shrubs, ornamental grasses and flowering perennials, while its evergreen habit ensures year-round visual interest. For best results, choose a sunny position with well-drained soil and water regularly while the plant establishes.
