This evergreen conifer showcases a compact, upright habit with dense branching and striking silvery-blue needles that maintain their vibrant color year-round. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 2-8 and prefers cooler temperatures, making it an excellent choice for cold climates. Ideal for full sun locations, this variety exhibits moderate deer resistance and is well-suited to a range of well-drained soils, including sandy or loamy textures. It matures to a modest height of 8 to 10 feet with a pyramidal shape, making it a stunning focal point in smaller gardens or as a foundation planting. The plant is drought-tolerant once established and does not produce notable fruits or flowers. Its unique coloration and structured form add year-round interest to the landscape.
