Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Notes

This dwarf evergreen has tight, many-layered branches that create a nest-like form. Grows slowly to 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. The candles are bright green and ball like. Mature needles are dark green. Use as an accent, or in a shrub, foundation, or perennial border to provide winter interest.
