Currently unavailable
A low-growing, dense evergreen shrub prized for its silvery-blue foliage. Once established, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and has very low water needs. It is important that the soil is well-drained, as constant soggy or wet soil can cause root rot.The new growth is a silvery-blue-green, with the needles having broad white bands that give it a "misty" or frosted appearance. The foliage may develop a coppery-purple tint in the winter.
