Common Name: Juniper Angelica Blue
Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’— commonly called Angelica Blue juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense, upright-spreading habit and striking silvery-blue foliage that holds its color throughout the year. The finely textured branchlets create a soft appearance, while its broad pyramidal form makes it useful as a specimen, screen, or structural evergreen in the landscape.
