This compact, unique conifer displays a pendulous, mop-like habit with long, glossy green cord-like foliage that deepens to rich bronze tones in the fall, adding seasonal interest. Hardy in Zones 5-7, it thrives in temperatures between -10°F to 30°F and prefers full sun to part shade. The plant reaches a mature height of approximately 24" with a rounded form, making it an excellent choice for small gardens or containers. It adapts well to well-drained, fertile soils and offers moderate deer resistance. Thuja plicata 'Whipcord' does not produce significant flowers or fruit, but its striking shape and playful texture make it a standout specimen in any landscape.
