Grey Owl Juniper

Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’ A rugged, low-growing evergreen, Grey Owl Juniper is a prized native for its soft, silvery-gray foliage and wide-spreading habit. Its feathery texture and muted blue-gray color provide year-round contrast in the landscape, making it an excellent choice for slopes, borders, mass plantings, and erosion control. Small blue berry-like cones add additional seasonal interest and attract birds. Exceptionally tough and drought-tolerant once established, Grey Owl Juniper thrives in full sun and poor soils with very little maintenance. Its broad, layered form creates a natural, relaxed look that works beautifully in both formal and informal landscapes.
