An outstanding addition to the landscape! This very slow-growing dwarf conifer forms a dense, naturally symmetrical cone shape. Attractive, pointed gray-blue needles hold their color well, even in southern climates. A stunning low maintenance evergreen for use as an accent, in borders, or in rock garden plantings.
