Cryptomeria is otherwise known as Japanese Cedar. Dragon Prince or Cryptomeria japonica 'Spg-3-014' will add texture and evergreen color. It's rounded, compact habit and stiff, light-green foliage makes it a versatile addition to the garden. Reminds us of Globosa Cryptomeria but we believe that it stays smaller at maturity.
Tolerant of heat and cold, hot and and dry conditions when established, with a tight, dense rounded habit that never requires pruning. Prefers not to dry out when young however is very drought tolerant when established. It does not like a constantly soggy or waterlogged soil so provide just enough water to maintain a damp to lightly moist soil until established. Best grown in zones 6-9.
Evergreen growing in a rounded mound to 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, the Dragon Prince Cryptomeria is perfect for use in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a low hedge in landscape borders. It’s naturally a no‑prune character, meaning you’ll enjoy a consistent form year after year.
Considered non-toxic to pets and deer resistant.
