Slower growing and compact, this Cary Award winning plant displays soft feeling, deep green needles with two whitish bands on the lower surface and rich, violet-purple cones starting as the plant reaches the 3 to 5′ range. A very interesting specimen! 

Small, glossy, semi-evergreen leaves form the backdrop for waves of small, funnel-shaped white to light pink flowers from late June through frost. Rounded, arching form is distinctive. Form and foliage make it attractive for foundation or for border plantings. Long season of bloom. Attracts butterflies. Semi-evergreen foliage. Drought-tolerant once established.
