Golden Mop False Cypress
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Mop'
The Gold Mop Cypress is an exceptionally hardy, low-maintenance shrub that thrives in a variety of landscapes. Known for its striking golden-yellow foliage, this slow-growing evergreen is resistant to both insects and disease, making it a worry-free addition to your garden. It grows well in USDA zones 4-8 and prefers full sun, though it can tolerate some shade. The more sun it receives, the brighter its golden color.
Whether you prefer a formal, trimmed look or a natural, flowing appearance, the Gold Mop Cypress enhances any landscape. It's a perfect accent for planting around camellias, trees, or in natural areas where it can mature and showcase its full beauty.
