Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Illuminate your landscape with the durable gleam of Night Light™ Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Night Light™ 'Conschlecht' PP# 24666). Rely on these dense, compact evergreen foliage shrubs for high performance year-round.
Soft, flat sprays of green branchlets grow gold-tipped with more sunlight. Thankfully, these low-maintenance Southern Living plants resist sunburn and leaf scorch, even in hot climates!
Planting and Application:
They stay compact enough for foundation plantings with minimal pruning. Growing into a pretty, round ball of fluffy foliage, Hinoki Cypress Night Light even thrives in partial shade to full sun.
- Count on this versatile evergreen shrub in exposed areas in a lawn display. In winter, the outer foliage turns rich, golden-bronze and shows a tolerance for cold to USDA Zone 5 without frost burn.
- Space them three feet apart on center for an effective, informal hedge. Mass several staggered rows and you'll create a colorful, easy-care border to enjoy in all seasons.
- Include Night Light Chamaecyparis at the front of your windbreak for a bold band of color. Their tight form and lush branch structure will even block wind behind your patio seating!
- Pop them into patio pots for a long-lasting, sophisticated show. Use them as a backdrop to protect and provide contrasting texture behind seasonal flowering container gardens.
- Repeat Night Light shrubs through all your landscape plantings to tie the look of your design together. Each one grows into a dynamic shrub with green interiors and sun-kissed edges.
#ProPlantTips for Care:
These hard-working Chamaecyparis shrubs require at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. They will brighten up considerably in full sun.
- Add symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster in the planting hole for life-long support to tiny feeder roots. Get expert planting tips from the NatureHills.com Horticulture Team.
- Give them a consistent schedule of supplemental water to keep them happy and stress-free. Please plan to water them well in late fall as you head into winter.
- Plan for them to reach their full mature height and spread as listed on the Plant Highlights. Shape as needed in late winter and fertilize in early spring.
