Juniperus Chinensis ‘Pfitzeriana Glauca’

Blue Pfitzer Juniper

Fast-growing evergreen conifer with a broad, spreading habit and elegantly arching branches. Over time, it develops into a dense, fountain-shaped shrub with layered, outward-reaching growth that brings both structure and fluidity to landscape designs. Its silhouette is wide and slightly irregular, giving it a naturalistic and dynamic presence.

The foliage is composed of fine needles and scale-like leaves, offering a soft, feathery texture with a slightly prickly feel. Its distinctive feature is its blue-green to silvery-green coloration, which gives a cool-toned effect in the landscape. This hue is most pronounced in full sun and may become slightly greener in partial shade, while still maintaining its characteristic glaucous appearance year-round.

Highly adaptable, Juniperus chinensis ‘Pfitzeriana Glauca’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of conditions, including poor, dry, or slightly alkaline soils. Once established, it exhibits strong resistance to drought and urban pollution, along with moderate tolerance to salt exposure. It is widely used for mass plantings, slopes, informal hedges, and as a textural or color-contrast element in landscape
