You'll get a great spring show from this cute little evergreen shrub. 'Blue Ice's' foliage is the first thing you'll notice since it's almost needle-like and has a superb powder of steel blue color that really stands out. Couple its fine foliage color with a heavy late April to early May bloom of small, pink-tinged, bell-shaped flowers and you have a colorful little gem.
