“Nana” is a ground hugging conifer that forms a carpet of blue-green, needle-like leaves. The foliage is held densely on prostrate branches as it grows to 30 cm tall and 1.5 m wide. This conifer grows best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of extended dry periods, coastal environments, frost, and cool climates though will benefit from protection while establishing. “Nana” is commonly used as an attractive groundcover, included in rock gardens, grown around the base of large trees, used in borders, mass planted on a bank, or generally included where a hardy, ground covering plant is required.
