Microbiota decussata 'Celtic Pride®' (Pending 'Prides')
Microbiota decussata is a unique evergreen that brings the beauty of lacy-textured foliage to challenging landscape situations. Native to the mountainous regions of southeastern Siberia, this conifer forms a graceful, low-spreading mat with elegantly arching branches. While similar in appearance to low-growing junipers, it offers softer foliage and more refined texture. The green summer foliage transforms to striking bronze-purple hues in fall, with the most dramatic color display occurring in colder climates. Also known as Platycladus decusatta.
This adaptable shrub thrives in average, well-drained soils and performs well in both full sun and partial shade locations. Remarkably cold-hardy. Prefers cooler summer temperatures and may struggle in hot, humid conditions. Intolerant of poorly drained soils. Plant away from walkways to allow natural spread, or trim occasionally to maintain desired shape. Once established requires minimal maintenance and no regular pruning.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
