Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shimmering silver-blue needles adorn this delightful creeping dwarf Himalayan cedar. If left to its own devices, it spreads along the ground in a twisting, turning snake-like fashion. If a small, 8-10', weeping tree form is desired, this specimen can be staked up resulting in a captivatingly graceful form. This makes a stunning and low-maintenance shrub for accent or rock garden.
