Description
Cypress – Siberian Carpet is a hardy, low-growing evergreen groundcover that offers year-round beauty and exceptional versatility. With its rich green, scale-like foliage that transforms to a coppery-bronze in fall and winter, this distinctive conifer adds seasonal interest to gardens. Its broad, spreading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for ground coverage, erosion control, or softening landscape edges.
Unlike junipers, Siberian Carpet Cypress thrives in shaded areas and adapts well to both dry and moist conditions, provided the soil is well-drained. Growing up to 18 inches tall and spreading 8 feet wide, this slow-growing evergreen requires minimal maintenance and performs best in protected locations. For optimal health in colder climates, applying mulch around the root zone is recommended. Whether used in woodland gardens, shaded borders, or sloped landscapes, Siberian Carpet Cypress offers lasting texture and charm.
