Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace', commonly known as Miss Grace Dawn Redwood, is a rare and enchanting conifer that adds elegance and a touch of history to your garden. As the first weeping variety of the ancient Dawn Redwood, 'Miss Grace' is a truly unique addition to any landscape, showcasing gracefully pendulous branches and a striking, sculptural form. This dwarf selection of Dawn Redwood features delicate, feathery foliage that emerges as soft lime-green in the spring, deepening to a rich medium green in summer. As the season transitions to fall, the needles turn a vibrant orange-yellow before dropping, revealing the tree’s beautiful, peeling red-brown bark, which adds winter interest. The combination of the weeping branches and the tree’s ever-changing foliage creates a captivating display throughout the year. 'Miss Grace' grows at an intermediate rate of about 9″-12″ per year, reaching a height of approximately 8 feet and a spread of 3 feet in 10 years. When left unstaked, this Dawn Redwood adopts a mounding, prostrate form, making it an excellent ground cover or a billowing, low pyramid. However, when staked, 'Miss Grace' takes on an upright, slender form with cascading branches that add vertical interest to the garden. This versatile conifer thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soils, including clay, loam, sand, or silt. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, 'Miss Grace' is exceptionally tolerant of moisture, making it an ideal choice for planting near water features such as pools, ponds, or in low-lying garden areas. It is also low-maintenance, resistant to deer, disease, heat, pollution, and humidity, making it a robust and reliable choice for a variety of landscapes. Perfect as a specimen tree, 'Miss Grace' shines in rock gardens, conifer gardens, or urban gardens, and it can also be grown in containers for a stunning patio or deck display. Its graceful form pairs beautifully with companion plants that share similar cultural requirements, such as dogwoods, hollies, yews, and redbuds. Flowering shrubs like azaleas, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas, along with perennials such as astilbes, hellebores, and dwarf iris, create a picturesque ensemble that complements the delicate foliage of 'Miss Grace'. Introduce Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace' to your garden and enjoy the timeless beauty, unique form, and seasonal interest it brings to your outdoor space. This Dawn Redwood is sure to become a cherished focal point in your landscape.
