Dwarf Golden Mop False Cypress has Outstanding Color
If you want an easy care plant that brings a big visual impact, you'll adore Golden Mop False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Mop'). This dwarf evergreen shrub features outstanding yellow landscape color.
This is a slow-growing dwarf evergreen shrub with a lot of personality. From fluffy, fine-textured golden foliage - to lemony yellow brand-new growth, you'll be entranced by its good looks.
The long, narrow, bowing stems give Golden Mop False Cypress a delightfully fuzzy appearance, adding to its charm. This plant may appear a bit soft and delicate, as the fine-needled foliage gently bounces and sways in the breeze.
A gently weeping habit might fool you into thinking you'll have to baby it. Not true! This is a tough shrub that can handle extreme cold. The golden yellow foliage will hold true throughout the seasons so you can enjoy the bright color in your landscape year-round.
For outstanding color in an adorable shrub, the Golden Mop False Cypress is the choice for you!
How to Use Golden Mop False Cypress in the Landscape
Called "Golden Mop" for its mop-head appearance, this little gem features a cute, unkempt look with a ground-hugging appearance that looks fantastic when used in mass.
Order an informal grouping of 3, 5, or 7 plants for a sunny location and combine them with colorful perennials and annuals for an amazing look. It also works beautifully with deep, purple foliage plants, as well as the cool tones of Bluestem grasses.
It would work well for foundation plantings, or in the front of borders. And because of the great color, you can repeat this plant throughout your mixed shrub or perennial borders to beef up some winter presence in the yard. This plant stays bright and colorful year-round.
Try Golden Mop Cypress in Rock Gardens to soften the look. Try it near a street. It's drought tolerant once established and even tolerates some salt. You could use this plant for Bonsai and in container gardening, as well!
- Bright Foliage Color
- Dwarf Evergreen
- Rounded Mop-Like Appearance
- Great In Containers
- Excellent Foundation or Massing Plant
#ProPlantTips for Care
Golden Mop False Cypress has no serious insect or disease problems of any note. It's considered a low-maintenance shrub, so you won't have to fuss with it like some other landscape varieties.
While it can perform in full sun to part shade, the color will be best in full sun. It would work well for foundation plantings where it is sunny and has a well-drained soil type. If needed, give the shrub a light trim after new growth finishes emerging in the summer.
Give it an annual dose of Dr. Earth Acid Loves Organic and Natural Fertilizer in spring.
- Full Sun For Best Color
- Well-Drained Soil - Saline Soil Tolerant
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Cold Hardy
