Why Blueberry Delight Juniper?
Blueberry Delight Juniper (Juniperus communis 'AmiDak') is a low-growing, evergreen shrub that features beautiful blue-green foliage with a more compact and mound-like habit compared to other juniper varieties. This shrub is particularly attractive in spring when blueberry-like cones appear on its branches. Because of its slow growth, Blueberry Delight Juniper is an ideal choice for use as a groundcover, edging plant or in rock gardens. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
