Plant description
The golden, cypress-like foliage of this compact, evergreen shrub looks good all year, but is particularly handsome in the winter garden. It forms a neat pillow shape, which in summer is topped with small clusters of pretty white flowers. It's great for pots or alpine beds, and as it is tolerant of salty air, it also works well in a coastal setting. Plant it in generous drifts to create structual groundcover, or use it to line a path or border's edge.
