This finely textured and sage-green evergreen has a low dense rounded habit. The tiny scale-like sprays of foliage turn an outstanding powder blue in the Fall, which persists throughout the Winter. This shrub does best in morning and/or filtered sun, unless it has adequate moisture in full afternoon sun. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It will benefit from being planted in a sheltered location from winter winds. Winter protection with burlap or a teepee structure is recommended. Attractive as low border, hedge or in rock gardens.
