Plant description
Emerging in spring with an orange-red flush, the foliage of this low-growing conifer turns greener as it matures. Then, as the temperatures drop in winter, the foliage starts to change colour once again - this time turning maroon-purple. Forming an irregular dome as it (slowly) grows, this conifer is ideal for patio pots, or filling gaps at the front of a sunny border.
