Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’ (Grey Owl Juniper)

Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’ is a low-growing evergreen conifer valued for its soft, feathery texture and striking silvery blue-grey foliage. Its fine, thread-like needles form a spreading, mounded habit that adds year-round colour and structure to the landscape.

This hardy shrub is slow-growing and highly adaptable, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It tolerates drought, urban conditions, and deer pressure, making it an excellent choice for slopes, borders, rock gardens, and low-maintenance planting schemes. In winter, branch tips may take on subtle purple tones, adding seasonal interest.
