Caring for your Blue Star Juniper
- Blue Star is very low maintenance and grows well in average, medium-moisture, well-drained soils and prefers full sun.
- During the first season, water weekly and feed a balanced fertilizer once in late winter or early spring. Once established, water occasionally. Check the soil moisture more often in extreme heat.
