Thuja plicata ‘Whipcord’ is a dwarf evergreen conifer grown for its unusual, rope-like foliage rather than traditional conifer form. Instead of flat sprays, it produces long, trailing strands that drape softly from a compact central plant, giving it a relaxed, sculptural appearance. The foliage remains deep green through most of the year, often developing bronze or copper tones in colder months, adding seasonal variation without losing structure. Slow growing and naturally well behaved, ‘Whipcord’ is particularly suited to containers, raised beds, and detailed planting schemes where texture and form are more important than height or speed of growth.
