Thuja plicata ‘Whipcord’ is a unique and eye-catching dwarf conifer, known for its weeping, thread-like foliage that cascades gracefully, creating a fountain-like effect in the garden. This compact Western Red Cedar is perfect for adding a touch of whimsy and texture to small spaces, rock gardens, or as an accent in mixed borders and containers. Growing slowly at a rate of 2-4 inches per year, ‘Whipcord’ reaches about 2.5 feet in height and width within 10 years, eventually maturing to 4-5 feet. Its glossy green foliage turns a striking bronze color in the winter, providing year-round interest. The plant’s mound-like form, which develops as it matures, adds to its distinctive appearance. This versatile cedar thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. It’s best suited for USDA hardiness zones 5-8, where it appreciates cool summer temperatures and protection from the harsh afternoon sun in warmer areas. Regular watering is essential during the first growing season and during dry spells to maintain soil moisture, with mulch helping to keep the roots cool and hydrated. ‘Whipcord’ is also deer- and rabbit-resistant, making it a low-maintenance and resilient choice for a variety of garden settings. Whether used as a foundation planting, in a woodland edge, or as a standout feature in a container, this charming little tree adds a unique and playful touch to any landscape. Bring home Thuja plicata ‘Whipcord’ today and enjoy its flowing form and seasonal beauty in your garden for years to come!
