- Naturally compact, rounded dwarf conifer that keeps its globe shape with little to no pruning.
- Finely textured, vibrant green foliage delivers four‑season evergreen color and soft texture.

- Perfect scale for borders, pathway repeats, massing, rock gardens, and containers (zones 6–9).
Dragon Prince Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica ‘Spg‑3‑014’) is a design‑forward, compact conifer that stays neat and rounded without shearing. Its dense, feathery needles provide a calming, evergreen backdrop that pairs beautifully with broad‑leaf shrubs and seasonal color. Reaching just 2–3 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, it adds refined structure at the front of borders, along walks, or as a repeating accent in modern plantings. Plant in full sun and slightly acidic, well‑drained soil; water regularly the first season to establish, then enjoy a tidy, heat‑tolerant evergreen that needs only occasional touch‑ups.
Plant Description
Dwarf, globe‑forming Japanese cedar with a naturally rounded habit and dense, fine light‑green foliage; maintains its form without routine pruning.
Foliage
Short, finely textured needles in vibrant green create a soft, cushion‑like mound that contrasts nicely with bold‑leaf companions.
Sun Requirements
Full sun is ideal. Provide good drainage and an open exposure for best color and the tightest, most symmetrical habit.
Watering Needs
Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry during establishment. After rooting in, shift to deeper, less frequent irrigation; avoid waterlogged conditions.
Soil Requirements
Performs best in fertile, slightly acidic, well‑drained soil enriched with organic matter. A spring application of an acid‑formulated fertilizer supports steady growth.
Growth & Size
Reaches approximately 2–3 ft. tall and 3–4 ft. wide at maturity, forming a dense, rounded silhouette with minimal or no shearing.
Special Features
Low‑maintenance, compact form; heat tolerant once established; suitable for coastal and urban plantings; naturally tidy habit for high‑visibility spaces.
Landscape Uses
Excellent for borders and pathway rhythm, massing for a low evergreen groundplane, rock and Japanese‑inspired gardens, or as a refined container specimen.
Care Instructions
Plant at or slightly above grade in well‑drained soil. Water deeply the first season to establish roots; mulch 2–3 inches, keeping mulch a few inches from stems. Pruning is rarely needed—tip‑prune lightly after the spring flush only to tidy stray shoots.
