Grey Pearl is a picturesque dwarf variety of Japanese larch. It is a low growing shrub with soft, deciduous needles that emerge fresh green and soon turn silvery blue green. It makes a fluffy appearance and is almost irresistible not to touch every time you pass by. It grows slowly making tiered branches with age. This effect is desired especially in Japanese gardens, however, this little beauty can find its spot in any garden or front yards of the smallest size. It will look great mulched with standard brown mulch as well as pebbles or decorative gravel of grey/white colour tones.

Larch hates wet soil. If it dies for no obvious reason it is often due to water-logged soil. Grow it in any well-drained, preferably deep soil in full sun. It can be pruned or shaped in early spring. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
