Much like the Grey Owl Juniper, the Angelica Blue is very similar in color and texture. However, the Angelica Blue has a much deeper bluish purple color when the temperatures cool down.
This juniper loves sun and well drained soil. It can reach heights up to 3-5 feet tall and about 5-8 feet wide.
What makes this Angelica Blue Juniper so special is its ease of use in the landscape. It really brings out colors of other plants that it surrounds.

Angelica Blue Juniper Care
Be sure to choose the best location for your Angelica Blue Juniper. As long as you avoid extreme temperatures you can plant your Juniper almost any time of the year.
Junipers thrive in full sun to part sun and adapt to any soil that is well drained. They do like a neutral to acidic soil so if you know you have an alkaline soil choose an acidic fertilizer (most fertilizers for evergreens are acidic). Junipers are great "street shrubs" as they tolerate pollution and salt well. After planting, adding a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch will help keep the soil moist and protect the lower branches from fungal issues. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease. Water your Juniper deeply a couple times a week for the first month or two. After your plants are established, they only need watered during hot, dry spells. Junipers are drought tolerant after establishing and even more so after being in the ground about two years. Fertilize when planting and in early spring yearly with our slow release fertilizer.
Junipers are extremely hardy and versatile. When properly cared for, they rarely have issues with pests and disease. Mites and scale are insects that can occasionally affect Junipers. These can be treated with horticultural oil. For severe infections the pesticide Bonide is recommended. Avoid saturated soils to prevent fungal issues in Junipers.
