MUSHROOM JAPANESE CEDAR

Cryptomeria japonica 'Mushroom' is a charming, dwarf Japanese Cedar that earns its name from its naturally symmetrical, rounded, and slightly flattened growth habit. Unlike the towering species, 'Mushroom' is a slow grower that typically matures into a dense, cushion-like mound reaching only 2 to 3 feet in height and width. Its foliage is soft and needle-like, emerging as a bright, medium green in the spring and summer before transitioning to a unique bronze or plum-purple hue during the cold winter months. This seasonal color shift adds a sophisticated layer of interest to the winter landscape, providing texture and warmth when most other plants are dormant.

'Mushroom' Japanese Cedar should be planted in full sun to partial shade; while it is shade-tolerant, a bit more sun helps keep its dense form tight and prevents it from becoming open or airy. It thrives in moist, rich, well-draining soil that is slightly acidic and appreciates protection from harsh, drying winter winds which can cause foliage desiccation. It is ideal for rock gardens, foundation plantings, or as a low-growing accent along garden paths where its soft texture can be appreciated up close. Because it naturally holds its globose shape without shearing, it is a virtually maintenance-free option for gardeners seeking a structural element that requires zero pruning.
