Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Variegata

Common Name:
Variegated Threadleaf Sawara Cypress

Description:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Variegata' is an eye-catching, slow-growing conifer with fine, thread-like foliage featuring a mix of green and creamy-white variegation. Its gracefully cascading, weeping branches create a soft, textured appearance, making it a standout feature in gardens, rockeries, and containers. This hardy and low-maintenance shrub thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a position in full sun to part shade. The variegated foliage adds year-round interest, offering a unique contrast against darker green plants. Its compact, mounded habit makes it ideal for small gardens or as a focal point in mixed borders.
