Evergreen Chamaecyparis (False Cypress)
Color Name: Aurea
Aurea is a landscape winner with a stunning, year-round yellow color that stands up to the summer sun without scalding. Aurea features graceful brances with well-cupped outer sprays and new foliage of warm, rich yellow, while interior and older foliage provide contrast with medium green. Attractive, reddish brown bark develops striking texture with age. Combine this with its slow growth and tight habit, and it's obvious why this plant is in such demand.
Growing Tips: Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best in part shade. Prefers moist, fertile soils. Avoid wet, poorly-drained soils. Shelter from strong winds. Pruning is rarely needed.
