Fast-growing evergreen succulent to 6″ tall x 12-18″ wide. Attractive needle-like bluish-gray foliage reminiscent of a blue spruce tree develops an attractive reddish-purple tinge in the colder months. Small dainty yellow flowers rise above the regal looking foliage in early-summer. Great as a rock garden accent or groundcover and does well in containers. Requires a well-drained soil and has low water needs once established. Performs best in a full to partial sun exposure.
