DWARF. A low spreading plant more green than blue foliage and red new growth in spring. It will grow 4-6 inches a year to about 1' high and 3' wide in 10 years. Nice for a different texture in the garden.

The showy! new growth of this upright 4' x 2-3' evergreen shrub is a very noticeable red against the deep green of older needles. Sun-PSh/Med
