Description Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Schirrmann’s Nordlicht’ Variegated Dwarf Dawn Redwood – “Northern Lights” in the Garden Add a touch of elegance and soft texture to your garden with ‘Schirrmann’s Nordlicht’, a dwarf variegated form of the Dawn Redwood. Known for its lush, feathery foliage and ever-changing color, this unique deciduous conifer offers a graceful presence and stunning seasonal interest. Developed by Winfried Schirrmann of Schacht-Audorf, Germany, the name ‘Nordlicht’ translates to “Northern Lights,” a fitting tribute to its luminous variegation. The delicate needles emerge with creamy or yellow tones depending on the light—golden in full sun, softer and creamier in part shade. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a warm chestnut brown before naturally shedding for winter. �� Plant Features: Botanical Name: Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Schirrmann’s Nordlicht’ Common Name: Variegated Dwarf Dawn Redwood Origin: Germany Size at Maturity (10 years): 6 ft tall x 5 ft wide Foliage: Soft, feathery, variegated; fall color is chestnut brown Growth Habit: Compact, upright, and finely textured Deciduous: Yes �� Growing Requirements: Light: Full sun to part shade Soil: Moist, rich soils preferred, but tolerant of various types Water: Enjoys consistent moisture USDA Zones: 5–9 (cold hardy and adaptable) �� Perfect For: Woodland gardens Modern or Asian-inspired landscapes Small spaces or specimen planting Conifer collectors Foliage contrast in mixed borders Grown in a one gallon container, shipped without pot
