Weeping Alaskan Cedar

(Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula')

Grown for its wonderful, textured foliage which it retains year-round and for its graceful, cascading growth-habit which really makes a statement when planted in a large container or in a sunny location in the garden or lawn.

 

Mike Dirr says Weeping Alaskan Cedar "has become increasingly popular in the eastern US - it is beautiful, graceful, elegantly arranged with pendulous branches and rich green foliage".

 

In our area, plants mature at 30' or more by 15' or more. Expect 12" or more growth a year.

 

Plant in sun to VERY light shade. When planted in containers, be sure plants receive at least 3-4 hours of afternoon summer sun. Water containers a couple times a week so plants never dry out completely.
