Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' Stem 50cm

Appearance and Growth

Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' is an evergreen conifer with a dense crown and attractive blue-green needles. The variety has a naturally low-growing, spreading habit with densely branched shoots. When trained on a stem, the branches cascade downwards, creating a distinctive ornamental weeping form. The plant retains its foliage and ornamental appearance throughout the year.

We offer well-developed, container-grown plants suitable for year-round planting.

Suitable Location

Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' is particularly suitable for Japanese gardens, rock gardens, alpine gardens and compositions with natural stones. Trained on a stem, it can be used as a standalone ornamental feature or combined with low-growing conifers, ornamental grasses and perennials. It is also suitable for planting in large decorative planters on terraces, in courtyards and near entrances.

Growing Conditions

The plant prefers sunny locations but also tolerates light partial shade. It grows well in light, sandy and well-drained soils. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant but does not tolerate prolonged waterlogging around the roots. The variety is frost-hardy and maintains its ornamental qualities throughout winter.

Planting and Care

When planting, prepare a planting hole wider than the root ball and provide a loose, well-drained soil mixture. Position the plant at the same depth as it was growing in its container and water thoroughly after planting.

During the first growing season, water regularly, adjusting the amount according to soil moisture and weather conditions. Once established, watering can be reduced. When growing in containers, ensure adequate drainage holes and prevent excess water from accumulating.

Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' does not require regular pruning. If necessary, remove dead or damaged branches and make minor adjustments to maintain the shape of the trained crown.
