Canadian hemlocks are special plants for the garden, but this one is exceptionally delightful. This lacy, round, mounding grows easily but not too fast. In spring the foliage is a true green, tipped silvery-white for a special touch. Then, as the season progresses, the tips becomes more predominant, giving the foliage a frosted look. It is like a mound of green kissed with a sparkling touch of snow.
