Chamaecyparis pisifera Plumosa Aurescens

Common Name:
Golden Plume Sawara Cypress

Description:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Plumosa Aurescens' is a striking, medium-sized conifer with soft, feathery foliage that emerges bright golden-yellow and matures to a rich, golden-green. Its fine texture and pyramidal growth habit make it a standout feature in garden landscapes. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers full sun to part shade, with its golden tones intensifying in sunny positions. 'Plumosa Aurescens' adds year-round colour and structure to gardens, making it ideal for specimen planting, hedging, or mixed borders. It provides excellent contrast against darker green foliage and works beautifully in formal and Japanese-style gardens.
