An evergreen, ground cover conifer with silver-blue foliage that will widely spread. The foliage retains it colour all year long. Lovely planted around boulders or in a rock garden where its branches can be trained to unique forms. Will tolerate sandy soil and rocky gravel gardens. Hardy.

A reliable plant for extreme conditions. Plant on slopes for coverage or erosion control, along retaining walls and curbs where the creeping foliage will cover year-round.
