Siberian Cypress is a dwarf evergreen conifer that forms a prostrate shrubby ground cover with graceful arching downward turned tips. Native to mountainous areas of southeaster Siberia.

Microbiota General Information

Microbiota are low-spreading conifers similar to low-growing Junipers. Soft lacey-textured branchlets in flattened sprays. Place back from walks or regular trimming will be necessary. Fall coloration is more prominent in colder zones. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Microbiota Plant Care

No pruning required, shape as needed.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
