Hardy Pyramidal Evergreen with Exceptional Color

When you think of a classic evergreen shrub that stands watch by a doorway, or gives weight to the corners of a border, you are thinking of the Blue Point Juniper. Formal, but not rigid, Blue Point takes what is best of a background evergreen and showcases it.

The color stays an exceptional blue-green year-round providing a perfect stage for more colorful annuals and perennials. The shape is naturally a soft pyramid, but Blue Point takes a good shearing like a pro and can be shaped any way you would like. Many of Nature Hills customers train Blue Point into a spiral or a formal cone.

Like most junipers, Blue Point is a trooper when it comes to weather extremes. It stays green during the coldest winter and doesn't look wilted in summer heat. It even does well in the more shaded areas of your landscape.

Maturing into a beautiful pyramidal shape, it is thick and sturdy enough to withstand windy conditions better than most upright junipers, too.

It's deer resistant, so no need to worry about the devastation that foraging can sometimes cause other garden plants.

If you need to freshen up your foundation plantings, flank a garage or fashion a privacy hedge, join with our many satisfied customers and order your Blue Point Junipers today!
