Description

Thuja Plicata 'Whipcord,' also known as Whipcord Arborvitae, is a unique dwarf conifer that adds a touch of elegance to any garden. Its distinctive cascading growth habit features long, green, cord-like foliage that arches gracefully downward. In fall, the foliage transforms into a striking coppery-bronze hue, maintaining its beauty throughout winter. This compact evergreen shrub is perfect as an accent plant for rock gardens, shrub borders, or mixed plantings.

Whipcord Arborvitae grows to about 5 feet in height and width, filling out to the ground, making it suitable for areas with limited space. Thriving in zones 5 to 8, it prefers full sun to partial shade and moist soil conditions. Low maintenance and versatile, it is an excellent choice for adding texture and year-round interest to the landscape.
