Siberian Cypress

Microbiota decussata 

Soft feathery scale-like foliage cover low-spreading. The flattened sprays are a bright green in summer, turning a bronze-purple in fall through winter. Works well as a juniper substitute. Native to Russia, it is very hardy. Best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Requires very well-drained soil.

Many perennials and bonsai plants will have a ‘winter look’ that differs from how they look when actively growing.  Colder temperatures and short days alter the appearance of these plants as they go thru seasonal changes.  Some plants require this reboot to bloom and/or perform at their best during the growing season.  Plants may remain semi-dormant until early spring.  Rest assured that these cosmetic changes do not adversely affect the health of your plant.
