Cryptomeria japonica nana

Common Name:
Dwarf Japanese Cedar

Description:
Cryptomeria japonica 'Nana' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with dense, fine-textured foliage that emerges bright green in spring and matures to a deep green, often taking on bronze tones in winter. Its naturally rounded, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, container planting, and Japanese-style landscapes. This hardy and low-maintenance variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a position in full sun to part shade. 'Nana' provides year-round interest with its soft, feathery foliage and is well-suited for small garden spaces, topiary, and formal plantings.
