This evergreen conifer, known for its vibrant golden foliage, provides a distinctive texture and color to landscapes. Its thread-like needles cascade downwards, creating a soft, mop-like appearance. Cultivated as an ornamental plant, it is a popular choice for gardens seeking year-round visual interest and unique form.
Its compact size and slow growth rate make it suitable for smaller gardens, rockeries, and containers. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the plant offers relatively low-maintenance care requirements, contributing to its widespread adoption in both residential and commercial landscapes. Its introduction into horticulture has broadened the palette of available textures and colors for landscape designers and gardeners.
