  • Notes

A somewhat narrow shrub of loose, columnar form to 20' tall, the 'Blue Haven' can be kept much lower with shearing. Its coarse foliage is a silvery blue color. It is good for tall hedges or as a single accent specimen. Full sun should be present for best growth.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halway with native soil and water. 5. Finish backfilling hole, build basin and water.
