The Top Point Dwarf White Cedar is a compact beauty that provides year-round color and texture. The Chamaecyparis thyoides have dense, short needled foliage in a deep green, although new foliage will have hints of blue. The foliage will turn a deep purplish-red with bronze tones during the winter. The Top Point Dwarf White Cedar is native to North America, meaning it requires very little attention once it is acclimated. 

This slow-grower can be planted in a container or along a foundation wall. Feature this stunner in beds, borders, or a mass planting. The dense foliage provides color and privacy if used as a hedge. Songbirds and other small animals will take shelter in the full foliage.  Grow the Top Point Dwarf White Cedar as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8.
