singleseed juniper

Water the Blue Star Juniper deeply and thoroughly once a week during its growing season, which is spring and summer. In dry, hot climates, increase watering frequency to twice or 3 times a week. During the winter months, water this plant only enough to keep the soil from drying out completely. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. If your Blue Star Juniper is in a container, check soil weekly for moisture and water when the top inch is dry. To ensure optimal growing conditions, it is recommended that this juniper be planted in well-draining soil in a sunny location.

Singleseed Juniper (Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star') require full sun to thrive, meaning it should be positioned in an area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is best to plant in a location that receives several hours of morning sunlight, late afternoon sunlight, and a few hours of mid-day sun. Avoid planting in a location that does not get any direct sunlight, as this could lead to stunted growth or pest infestation.

Singleseed juniper, also known as Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star', is a low-maintenance, evergreen shrub that can grow up to 5 feet tall. Pruning should be done to maintain the shape and size of the shrub. Pruning should be done when the shrub is actively growing, which is usually in the spring or late summer. Pruning should be done to remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches and stems. It is best to prune only the ends of branches to maintain the shape of the shrub. If the shrub is getting too large or out of shape, more drastic pruning can be done. Pruning in late summer will help promote better winter cold hardiness.
