Cryptomeria japonica Mushroom

Common Name:
Mushroom Japanese Cedar

Description:
Cryptomeria japonica 'Mushroom' is a compact, slow-growing dwarf conifer with a naturally rounded, dome-like shape resembling a mushroom. Its soft, feathery foliage emerges bright green in spring and matures to a deep green, sometimes taking on bronze tones in winter. This evergreen shrub is an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, container planting, and Japanese-style landscapes. 'Mushroom' thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a sunny to partly shaded position. Low-maintenance and hardy, this variety provides year-round texture and interest, making it perfect for small garden spaces, topiary, and formal plantings.
