Hinoki Gold Cypress

Hinoki Gold Cypress

Hinoki Gold Cypress is a striking evergreen conifer prized for its luminous golden foliage and refined, architectural form. Its dense, fan-shaped sprays of needles create a soft texture that brightens gardens year-round, even in winter landscapes. Slow-growing and naturally compact, this cypress is ideal for foundation plantings, rock gardens, mixed borders, or as a standout specimen in containers.

This ornamental conifer maintains its rich color best in full sun to partial shade and brings a calm, elegant presence to both modern and traditional garden designs. With minimal pruning required and excellent cold tolerance, Hinoki Gold Cypress is a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking reliable structure and long-lasting visual interest.
