An elegant, arching sprays of golden, fern-like foliage. Each distinctive, flattened branch tapers to a point, reminiscent of fern fronds. This moderately fast-growing evergreen is adorned with lace-like gray-blue foliage and is remarkably heat and sun tolerant. It thrives in well-draining soil and becomes drought-resistant once established. However, in hot climates, it's advisable to exercise caution, as scorching afternoon sun may be too intense.
