Siberian cypress is a hardy, low-growing evergreen for sun or shade, but the species is often plagued with tip die-back. Celtic Pride® Siberian cypress solves that with superior disease resistance and winter color. Its soft, fern-like green foliage spreads low along the ground and transitions to an attractive russet color in winter. Cold tolerant to USDA zone 2, Celtic Pride® Microbiota decussata is an extremely hardy shrub. This shade-tolerant shrub is perfect for low-maintenance mass plantings, edging, or as a groundcover. It's also so deer-resistant that it's in the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Deer Proof™ program . Celtic Pride® is a welcome alternative to juniper for those with semi-shaded conditions.
