Microbiota decussata

Description

Microbiota decussata, commonly known as Russian Cypress, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub that forms a dense mat of feathery, scale-like foliage. It is prized for its ability to thrive in a variety of conditions and its attractive, soft texture. The foliage is bright green in summer, turning bronze-purple in winter, adding seasonal interest to gardens.

Suggested Uses

Russian Cypress is ideal for ground cover, rock gardens, and erosion control on slopes. It can also be used in mixed borders and as a low hedge. Its low maintenance and adaptability make it a great choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
