Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Iceberg'

Iceberg Eastern White Cedar


Evergreen Conifer, Shrub

This dwarf variety of the eastern white cedar is prized for its silvery-blue foliage, shade-tolerant disposition, compact habit, and overall garden-worthiness. This frothy blue conifer combines beautifully with a wide range of foliage colors; for example, black, burgundy, or yellow leaves present strong color contrasts; while green, silver, or lightly variegated foliage partners create a quiet and restful scene.
