More about this plant
A densely branched broad pyramid of glowing blue green foliage that holds its natural shape with little shearing, reaching about 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide. It is highly adaptable in any well drained soil, wants full sun, and once established is waterwise and heat loving while shrugging off deer, rabbits, coastal salt and urban pollution. Water deeply through the first growing season, then reduce frequency, and prune annually if a formal outline is wanted. Use it as a privacy screen, a windbreak, a border upright or a sheared topiary.
