Daub’s Frosted annual growth is 3” to 6,” and in 10 years it achieves a height and width of 1’H to 4’W. It is hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 8, grows well in full sun, and is poor soil tolerant, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. It grows 3” to 6” a year, and reaches 1’H × 4’W in 10 years. This low-growing Juniper puts on bright yellow new growth which contrasts with its older, blue-green interior foliage. Juniperus chinensis ‘Daub’s Frosted’ (Daub’s Frosted Chinese Juniper) Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’ Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’ This beautiful shrub makes a pleasing contrast when paired with dark green plants as a foundation planting or ground cover. It is also heat and drought tolerant, and deer resistant. It loves full sun, and is hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 9. It is a soft, fluffy shrub that grow 6” to 12” per year, and attains dimensions of 3’-5’H × 5’-10’W in 10 years. Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’ (Angelica Blue Chinese Juniper)Īngelica Blue is probably the bluest of the Junipers.

Columnar varieties differ widely and have multiple uses depending on their shape, size, and texture. Junipers can also grow in a columnar or pyramidal form depending on the species and variety. Others are shrubby, with numerous branches extending up from the ground, such as Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue‘, and Juniperus horizontalis ‘Blue Forest.’ They add interest and fill the space in front of buildings as foundation plantings. Juniperus chinensis ‘Daub’s Frosted‘, and Juniperus communis ‘Greenmantle’, or Juni perus horizontalis ‘Pancake’ are good examples. Some lie flat on the ground with a number of branches spreading outward and are excellent as ground covers. Junipers come in a variety of shapes that can fulfill specific purposes in a landscape. Juniperus chinensis ‘Angelica Blue’ is the bluest of the low-growing, spreading Juniper shrubs, while Juniperus scopulorum ‘Blue Arrow’ is the bluest of the columnar trees. They are ideal for duplicating an Italian Cypress look, but will grow in colder climates. Others, such as the dark green Juniperus virginiana ‘Taylor,’ are tall and keep their narrow shape, even in maturity. The young Skyrocket trees stay narrow until approximately seven years old, but become slightly less narrow with age. Juniperus scopulorum ‘Skyrocket,’ for example, is the narrowest of the Junipers, and is very blue.
Others delight with their diverse colors, shapes, heights, and textures. Many varieties are standard elements that are frequently planted in a landscape, such as Juniperus communis ‘Greenmantle,’ a prostrate, spreading Juniper, and Juniperus communis ‘Compressa,’ a conical, dwarf tree. Junipers are a group of aromatic evergreen shrubs and trees in the Cypress family that are native worldwide in the northern hemisphere.
