| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing, spreading, flat topped form to 3 to 5 ft. tall and wide. |
| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Design Ideas | This is a wide, medium-height plant that makes a broad hedge capable of separating different 'rooms' of the garden without blocking light or view. A perfect foundation plant that won't need topping. Excellent in tough conditions along streets or driveways. Adds relief in stands of very low-growing Juniper groundcovers, where the accent color of the foliage stands out boldly in contrast. |
