Professional Growing Information 
Sad This is a very pretty plant. Really wanted it to survive Have tried a couple of years. Last year purchased again, three. Only one is still alive, and struggling. In zone 4b, it cannot take the summer sun or heat. this last "survivor" I planted in partial shade, on a slope, it looks to be about to die. Give up, will not try again.

Love it! Put in part shade and it does great! Won't burn out in the center like juniper
