Discover the plant
Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana’ is a highly sought-after ornamental dwarf conifer renowned for its naturally compact habit and finely textured evergreen foliage. It forms a dense, rounded to slightly irregular silhouette, evoking a small, sculptural shrub perfectly suited for rock gardens, Japanese gardens, tidy borders, and container planting. Its deep dark green foliage, composed of short, overlapping branches, offers an elegant and structured presence year-round. With very slow growth, it maintains modest dimensions for a long time, making it an ideal choice for small spaces and low-maintenance, sustainable landscapes. Hardy and well-suited to Quebec's conditions, Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sheltered exposure from winter winds to fully display its beauty.
