Product Details

Japanese Cedar Dragon Prince

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Dragon Prince’

Japanese Cedar ‘Dragon Prince’ is a dwarf evergreen conifer with rich green, layered foliage that resembles soft needles. Its compact size maxes out around 2 feet in height and 3 in width, making it ideal for small-scale planting pockets or decorative pots. The plant forms a naturally rounded, dense shape that resembles a living sculpture. New growth is lush and bright, while older foliage darkens for layered contrast. Dragon Prince shines as a structural element in perennial compositions or flanking pathways. It adds interest even in winter when paired with grasses or low flowering plants.

  • An evergreen shrub
  • Dense green feathery foliage
  • Rounded growth habit
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Heat tolerant

Dragon Prince prefers part sun and evenly moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it fits well in North Texas planting schemes requiring low-growing evergreens with unique texture.
