Chamaecyparis pisifera Nana Albo-variegata

Common Name:
Dwarf Variegated Sawara Cypress

Description:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Nana Albo-variegata' is a compact, slow-growing conifer with soft, feathery foliage that displays an attractive mix of green and creamy-white variegation. Its dense, mounded growth habit and finely textured, thread-like foliage make it a perfect choice for rock gardens, mixed borders, and container planting. This dwarf variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a position in full sun to part shade. It is highly ornamental, adding year-round colour and texture to the landscape with minimal maintenance. Ideal for small gardens, Japanese-style plantings, and as an accent plant in formal or informal designs.
