Black Dragon Japanese Cedar is an evergreen you choose when you want your landscape to look richer in every season, especially winter. New growth starts light green, then deepens as it matures into a dark green that holds strong. When cold weather arrives, it keeps the darkest green color, almost black, of all Japanese cedar, giving your garden a bold anchor when most plants fade. In its early years it grows vigorously until it reaches about 4–6 feet, then the pace slows and the plant fills in with denser, more compact branching.

Keep your garden looking confident in winter

When your beds and borders lose color, this cedar helps the whole space feel intentional. That deep, dark winter foliage adds contrast against snow, stone, mulch, or lighter evergreens, so your landscape still has a clear focal point when it matters most.

Get a strong evergreen shape without constant sizing battles

Black Dragon grows with energy while it is young, then slows once it reaches 4–6 feet and begins to fill in with more compact foliage and branches. That growth pattern helps you enjoy quicker establishment up front, followed by a more controlled habit that is easier to live with over time. The broad upright form adds presence without needing your yard to do the heavy lifting.

Plant with confidence for steady, predictable progress

With a growth rate of about 6–8 inches per year, you can plan around it without surprises. It performs in sun to part shade, giving you flexibility for different exposures around the home. Hardy to Zone 6, it is a reliable evergreen choice for gardeners who want lasting structure and deeper color in the landscape.
