THUJA OCCIDENTALIS ‘SHERWOOD MOSS’ / SHERWOOD MOSS CEDAR
Dense, Moss-Like Evergreen for Ground Cover and Borders
Thuja occidentalis ‘Sherwood Moss,’ also known as Sherwood Moss Cedar, is a unique, low-growing evergreen variety that forms a dense, moss-like mat of soft, green foliage. This compact and spreading shrub is perfect for ground cover, borders, or creating a natural carpet in your landscape. Its dense, fine-textured needles and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions make it an ideal choice for low-maintenance gardening and adding year-round interest.
Why Choose Sherwood Moss Cedar?

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
