      Plant Information

      Most native Port Orford Cedars that are grown eventually die out of the root pathogen phytophthora so imagine our delight when this small shrub form with gorgeous white foliage has persisted. Not that it's totally resistant but it doesn’t just up and die when it gets water on the first 85ºF day. Really at its best as a stunning container subject where one can appreciate the almost white foliage that slowly morphs to aqua green. A nice bicolor effect. Unlike other variegated conifers this one does not get nasty after exposure to an arctic winter and summer sun. Instead it remains fresh. To 5′ tall and 3′ wide in 7 years- in the form of a teardrop. No summer water once established. Regular water is safe in containers. Part shade to full sun and average, well-drained soil. Slow growing conifer that always looks good. Oregon native plant. Plant type: Shrub | Sun exposure: Full Sun, Part Shade Biome: Hot Aspects, Low Water/No Water, Oregon Coast, Western Native Foliage color: Silver/Gray, Variegated | Foliage season: Evergreen
