Sometimes it’s hard to classify an evergreen as a colorful plant but this outstanding selection will certainly fit the bill. The first thing you’ll notice about this variety is its upwardly curving deep green needles backed so brightly in brilliant white that the plant takes on a unique two-toned look that is more than unusual… it’s stunning! Slow growing at first, ‘Horstmann’s Silberlocke’ will pick up momentum as it ages adding up to 2' of growth per year on its way to becoming a tall, narrow specimen that will truly stop traffic. It even sports generous amounts of bright green, upright standing cones that loom above the foliage, adding to its unique look!
