Often called Bird’s Nest Hemlock, it develops a distinctive depressed, funnel-shaped center surrounded by bright green foliage with soft, feathery, arching tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for shaded foundation beds, woodland gardens, and small landscapes, it provides year-round color without outgrowing its space quickly. This seedling cultivar was discovered by Jeddeloh Nursery in a German cemetery in 1950. Canadian hemlocks grow best in cool, northern climates where it appreciates shelter from hot afternoon sun and harsh winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
