Soft Serve® Gold False Cypress — Chamaecyparis pisifera 'FARROWCGMS'
Soft Serve® Gold False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'FARROWCGMS') is a stunning, densely pyramidal evergreen conifer that delivers year-round golden drama in the landscape — its scale-like foliage on upright, feathery branchlets is a rich, brilliant gold in full sun and retains its vibrant color remarkably well into winter, providing a warm, luminous accent that few other evergreens can match. The naturally dense, pyramidal habit requires minimal pruning and creates a refined, architectural form that works beautifully as a specimen plant, in foundation plantings, as a hedge, or in mixed borders. The fine-textured, soft foliage gives the plant an exceptionally lush and inviting appearance up close. Thrives in full to part sun with moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from hard winds. Hardy to Zone 4.
