Celtic Pride® Siberian Cypress (Microbiota)

- Evergreen Ground Cover,
- Great Disease Resistance
Description
(Siberian Cypress) Looking for an evergreen that hugs the ground instead of growing into a towering shrub? Celtic Pride® Siberian Cypress creates a lush carpet of soft, feathery foliage that spreads beautifully across the landscape. Its rich green foliage develops attractive bronze tones during colder weather, adding interest even when much of the garden has gone dormant.
This low-growing evergreen reaches approximately 1–3 feet tall and spreads 4–6 feet wide. Its graceful, arching branches create a layered appearance that looks especially attractive along slopes, retaining walls, and the edges of larger landscape beds. Use it as a groundcover to fill open spaces with year-round texture.
Hardy in zones 2–7, Celtic Pride® Siberian Cypress handles exceptionally cold winters. Unlike many other Siberian Cypress selections, Celtic Pride® also offers improved resistance to tip dieback, helping it maintain a fuller, more attractive appearance.
This versatile evergreen grows in full sun to part shade and performs best in well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates periods of drought. Avoid consistently wet locations, particularly during winter.
Deer resistance adds another advantage for landscapes where browsing can become a problem. Its naturally spreading habit requires little pruning, making it a practical choice for covering larger areas. Need to soften a slope or replace a patch of lawn with something more interesting? Those cascading evergreen branches are ready for the job. Celtic Pride® Siberian Cypress is a Proven Winners® Color Choice Shrub.

Reviews
Lush-healthy-green-wispy foliage for my shady garden. Can’t wait to see this different texture among the hostas and how they fill-in.
This exceeded my expectations. I absolutely adore the fern-like leaves on this - it gives the plant a very airy quality. I actually got compliments on it as I was planting it by someone walking by. That should tell you something about how healthy, full and lush this conifer was. It is honestly very rare that I receive a mail order plant that looks exactly like what is pictured on the website, but it was bound to happen some day, right? And not only did it arrive healthy, it was much fuller than I expected a quart to be, well-rooted and packed so well that not a leaf or branch was broken or out of place, despite it being so full!
