This extraordinary dwarf conifer dazzles with tightly curled, two-toned needles that reveal bright white undersides, creating a striking frosted effect year-round. Slow-growing with a rounded form when young, it gradually matures into a compact, pyramidal small tree. A 2014 American Conifer Society “Conifer of the Year,” it’s an exceptional choice for structure, color, and texture in gardens and landscapes.
Plant in full sun to partial shade in cool, moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid hot, dry sites. Minimal pruning is needed—simply remove damaged or wayward branches as required to maintain form.
