This is a slow growing, dense mounded conifer has golden and light green foliage. It eventually can reach 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, though it will do so slowly. Useful in sheltered borders and foundations.

Grow in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, though in our hot, arid climate, it is best planted to avoid mid-day sun. Prefers fertile, loamy soils and regular watering, however, avoid wet, poorly-drained soils. Shelter from wind.
