|
Versatile, dwarf form is an excellent evergreen for border or accent. Tight, many layered branches create nest-like compact form, requires little maintenance. Very hardy and wind resistant. Full sun. Slow grower to 3 to 5 feet tall, 4 to 6 feet wide. Cutting grown. This is a carefree spreading conifer with bright color that adds welcome contrast to darker shrubs. Use as ground cover or as a low divider between driveways or along the property line. Good low plant that won't obstruct the view from elevated homesites. Ideal filler between upright conifers and broadleaf trees. A candidate for rock gardens, where it spills nicely over boulders and dry stone walls. |
