Whipcord Arborvitae Standard is one of the most unusual and conversation-worthy evergreens you can add to your garden, combining a striking sculptural form with exceptional seasonal color change. Grafted onto a single upright stem, the long, cord-like pendulous foliage cascades gracefully downward in a rich green curtain through spring and summer, then transforms to a warm coppery bronze in fall that holds through the entire winter, giving your garden a glowing, unexpected color when most other plants have gone dormant. The weeping mop-head form on a clean standard stem gives it an almost bonsai-like elegance that works beautifully as a patio specimen, entryway accent, or focal point in a rock or mixed garden.
