Evergreens (Container Grown)
Russian Cypress
Description
Russian cypress is an exceptionally hardy, low growing evergreen groundcover. Native to the Sikhote-Alin mountains in East Russia, it is prized as a rugged groundcover that features soft, feathery foliage which turns from bright green in summer to a distinct coppery bronze or plum purple in winter. The scale-like leaves are arranged in flat, fan like sprays similar to arborvitae. While it looks soft, this variety may feel sharp to the touch. Performs well in full sun, though it may benefit from afternoon shade in hotter regions to prevent the foliage from burning.
