Description
Microbiota decussata is an evergreen groundcover that neatly sprawls around resembling a trailing arborvitae. Grows to 1.5' tall, 7'-8' wide, with many horizontal or trailing plume-like branches closely set with scale-like leaves. This groundcover is beautiful under trees as it likes filtered sun. It cascades gracefully down hillsides. Foliage is bright green and scale like, turning coppery in fall with cold weather.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
