A vigorous evergreen shrub with bright green, scale-like foliage that becomes coppery brown in winter. An adaptable conifer that provides excellent textural contrast to broad-leaved shrubs or perennials. Well-suited for use in rock gardens, as a specimen plant, or massed as an easy-care ground cover. Unlike junipers, it’s a bit more shade-tolerant. Its bright green leaves turn a coppery bronze in the fall, adding to its appeal.
