Features

Looking for an evergreen groundcover with delicate good looks but tough-as-nails performance? Try Celtic Pride Siberian cypress.
Its pretty fern-like foliage belies its durable nature. This plant is super hardy (down to USDA zone 2), tolerates light shade, tolerates dry conditions, and is untouched by deer. In winter, the plant takes on a russet-purple tone. Celtic Pride microbiota was selected for its uniform growth and resistance to the tip dieback that often plagues conventional varieties.
Top reasons to grow Celtic Pride Siberian cypress:
- Groundcover shrub transforms areas into a lush evergreen carpet
- Super hardy: true to its name "Siberian cypress," it can easily live in very cold climates
- Deer resistant

Sad This is a very pretty plant. Really wanted it to survive Have tried a couple of years. Last year purchased again, three. Only one is still alive, and struggling. In zone 4b, it cannot take the summer sun or heat. this last "survivor" I planted in partial shade, on a slope, it looks to be about to die. Give up, will not try again.

Love it! Put in part shade and it does great! Won't burn out in the center like juniper
