Juniperus chinensis Angelica Blue

Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’ is a broad, spreading Chinese juniper prized for its vivid blue-gray evergreen foliage. It develops into a substantial, wide-growing plant, reaching approximately 5–6 feet tall and 10–12 feet wide at maturity, with gracefully spreading branches that create excellent horizontal structure in the landscape. The dense foliage provides year-round color and texture without requiring shearing to maintain its natural form.

An adaptable and durable landscape plant, ‘Angelica Blue’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and generally requires little maintenance. Its broad habit makes it particularly useful as a large-scale groundcover, bank planting, foundation plant, specimen, or for covering slopes where a spreading evergreen is desired.
