Common Name:
Baby Blue Sawara Cypress

Description:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Baby Blue' is a compact, slow-growing conifer prized for its soft, feathery foliage in an eye-catching silvery-blue hue. This dwarf cultivar maintains a rounded, mounded shape, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, rockeries, and containers. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a sunny to partly shaded position. This low-maintenance conifer is tolerant of cold conditions and adds year-round texture and colour to the landscape. 'Baby Blue' is ideal for formal gardens, mixed borders, or as a striking specimen plant.
