Re: Microbiota decussata

Yes, Wayside has one of these: M. decussata "Siberian Carpet Cypress," z2-8.

Bobbi, did you get dropped as a competitor?  John Elsley apparently left
last fall and has been replaced (can he be replaced??) by Chris Hansen.
Blurb states "Chris is an enthusiastic seeker of the newest and best
cultivars from innovative hybridizers who share Wayside's commitment to
horticulatural excellence. A breeder of no small talent himself...."

Is this plant soft?

Hi Marge and Kay,

Thanks for the info. An excellent local nursery, Burnham Woods, has
started carrying this plant. It was they who recommended it to me as a
good replacement for the groundcover junipers in shade. I seem to have
seen pictures of it in the Wayside catalog before they dropped me from
their list, but nowhere else.  Does it have a common name? Are there
inexpensive sources for it? Is it best grown as a companion plant, or by
itself? Is it truly evergreen, i.e., does it keep its color all year?
(Burnham Woods is closed in winter so I can't inspect their plants now,
besides which, they are under 9" of snow.)

It is supposed to warm up into the high 20s today! Whoopee!
