Plant Care

Blue Pacific Juniper is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Regular pruning in early spring helps maintain its shape and remove any dead branches. This hardy plant is resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for problem areas. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Planting Instructions

Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same level as it did in the container. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and add a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the main stem.
