Microbiota decussata is a low-growing evergreen conifer used primarily as ground cover. It spreads slowly to form a dense mat, helping to suppress weeds and stabilise soil. The foliage remains soft in texture and changes tone during colder months, adding seasonal variation without requiring maintenance. Its tolerance of cold, poor soil, and minimal care makes it suitable for informal planting and difficult sites.
