Full sun, partial shade, deer and drought resistant, zone 3

Juniperus communis ‘AmiDak’

Pot size #5

The Blueberry Juniper has a ground-hugging habit of growth, and is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub. It arches and sprawls. The needles and the fruit are highly ornamental. The berries grow in abundance and are blue colored; forming from late spring to late winter. The foliage is a powder blue with silver stripes. In the Fall the needles will turn a copper color. Great to use as a mass planting, or as a groundcover.

It will grow to a height of 12 inches and a spread of 4 feet. It grows at a slow rate but is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but does not tolerate any standing water. It is drought resistant so it makes an ideal choice for low gardens or xeriscape application.

A native North American species.
