| Description | This charming, globe-shaped evergreen shrub is dwarf, flat-topped and densely branched. The bright blue needles hold their color all year long, but are a brighter hue in summer. Provides a unique accent for that special spot in the garden. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care, Compact Form, Benefits Birds |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Road Salt Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Slow |
| Growth Habit | Rounded |
| Landscape Use | Container, Privacy Screen, Windbreak |
| Design Ideas | This little beauty is like a shining sapphire in gardens of hardy green dwarf shrubs. Use it a single accent in Asian schemes or for contrast in gardens heavy in cool colors. Adds brightness to dark parts of the yard and makes a nice low hedge against an emerald lawn. However, its real value is as a simple specimen. |
| Foliage Color | Silver-blue |
| Companion Plants | Switch Grass (Panicum); Weigela (Weigela); Speedwell (Veronica); Dwarf Ninebark (Physocarpus); Smoke Tree (Cotinus) |
| Care Instructions | Prefers humus-rich, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system. Prefers even moisture but can tolerate periodic drought when well-established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. |
