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:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
