Whipcord","description":"\u003ch1\u003eWestern red cedar Whipcord\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eA distinctive, dwarf variety of the Western red cedar, this unusual evergreen conifer brings a completely unique texture and form to the garden. It is highly celebrated for its long, arching, cord-like branches that lack the typical flat sprays of the species, resulting in a low mound that closely resembles a mop of thick green string. The main foliage consists of glossy, scale-like leaves that tightly hug the pendulous stems. Throughout the Spring and Summer, the plant is a vibrant, rich green, but it undergoes a striking transformation as the cold weather arrives, turning a warm, rich bronze-brown for the winter months. Because of its naturally cascading habit, it is an excellent choice for adding soft movement and structural contrast when positioned over walls or container edges. This slow-growing, low-maintenance shrub is incredibly easy to care for and requires no routine clipping to maintain its neat, fountain-like shape. It is robust, long-lived, and creates an eye-catching focal point in smaller garden settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eNeeds some shelter from harsh drying winds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soil.
