Plant Description

Microbiota decussata is a unique ornamental conifer prized for its delicate, feathery foliage. Native to Siberia, this evergreen shrub thrives in cold climates and showcases a soft green color that turns bronze in winter. Gardeners admire its low-growing, spreading habit that creates a lush ground cover effect, adding texture and interest to any landscape.

The Microbiota decussata stands out among conifers due to its scale-like leaves arranged in opposite pairs. Also known as Siberian cypress or Russian arborvitae, this species remains compact and resilient. Its bark peels in thin strips, revealing a reddish-brown layer beneath. This conifer from Siberia adapts well to various soil types and is valued for its ornamental appeal.

  • Delicate, scale-like foliage with a soft texture
  • Evergreen shrub with a spreading, low-growing habit
  • Distinctive reddish-brown peeling bark
  • Foliage changes color with the seasons
  • Compact form ideal for ground cover

In summary, Microbiota decussata combines rugged Siberian origins with graceful ornamental features. This evergreen shrub enhances gardens year-round, especially where low maintenance and aesthetic appeal are desired. Its rarity and unique morphology make it a treasured addition for conifer enthusiasts and landscape designers alike.
