This plant prefers full sun and well-drained, acidic to slightly alkaline soil. The parent plant is found growing in rocky or sandy soils from rocky outcrops to streams, making this shrub fairly adaptable to various soil types, including poor soils, and pH as long as the soil is well drained. While it is intolerant of shade, it is drought, heat tolerant and is not browsed by deer. It is fairly salt tolerant allowing it to grow well in coastal areas. It is also tolerant of air pollution and other urban conditions making it a good choice for a home landscape plant.
The fine textured blue-green to gray-green needles turn copper to purple in winter, bringing interest to the landscape even in the winter.
Ideal to use mass planted on slopes as a ground cover to manage erosion. Use in rock gardens, in a container or in the front of a border. The evergreen leaves bring color planted along a walkway or as foundation planting. It can also be used for bonsai.
