Botanical profile

Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace'

Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace' is a unique deciduous weeping conifer, with a graceful pendulous habit and a narrow, flowing silhouette, giving it a sculptural presence in all seasons. Its fine, light green foliage, turning coppery-orange in the autumn, accentuates its light texture and natural movement. Perfect for planting as a solitary specimen, near a water feature, or in a garden with a fluid aesthetic, this weeping dawn redwood remains more compact than the species type, while maintaining remarkable hardiness. It prefers cool, deep, well-drained soils, with a sunny to semi-shady exposure, and requires little pruning. 'Miss Grace' combines a natural weeping habit, bright seasonal foliage, and a strong ornamental appeal, ideal for creating a vibrant and calming focal point in any landscape design.
