The Icee blue juniper enchants with its dense silver-blue foliage, creating a visual impression of a lush carpet. Attractive ground cover. Resilient, it tolerates heavy soils and thrives in hot, dry conditions once firmly established. Its evergreen foliage, silvery blue for most of the year, takes on purplish shades in winter, adding a captivating seasonal dimension. Comparable to the 'Wiltonii', it is distinguished by its increased compactness. Adaptable to any well-drained soil, this juniper is an essential discovery for those looking for a versatile ornamental solution that is not very popular with deer. A striking addition to any landscape design.
