Juniperus squamata 'Dream Joy'

While common junipers are often judged to be functional but boring, varieties such as 'Dream Joy' are just as attractive and interesting as many broadleaf specimens, yet have all the resilient qualities of junipers. Drought tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and tolerant of less-than-fertile soils, this variety's foliage changes color from a sulfur-yellow when young to a rich blue as it matures. Staying around two feet in height, 'Dream Joy' will slowly spread out four feet wide, acting as a ground cover and foundation plant. Consider using it as a filler-trailer in year-round planters and hanging baskets, adding a unique texture and changing color as the seasons change.
