Evergreen Chamaecyparis (False Cypress)
Color Name: Top Point
There's a lot to love about this dense, slow growing little evergreen. You have to love its form. . . it's so compact that it will fit in any garden, even in a formal container or foundation garden, places where native plants never seem to find a home. You'll also love its easy care nature. Nothing seems to bother this plant; wind, partial shade, moist to wet soils. Top Point takes all these concerns in stride without batting an eye. It even looks great with small, deep green, very short needled foliage packed tightly enough on branches to seem almost impenetrable with an added bonus of a plum red to bronze winter color that really catches the eye. You and your garden critters will love this little gem no matter where you put it in the garden!
Growing Tips: The Blue Feathers Cypress is very easy to grow in a well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is moderately drought tolerant but will appreciate an occasional watering during prolonged periods of dry weather.
