Chamaecyparis pisifera Squarrosa

Common Name:
Moss Sawara Cypress

Description:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa' is a striking, slow-growing conifer with fine, feathery foliage in a soft blue-green hue. As it matures, the foliage develops a slightly moss-like texture, giving the plant a unique, fluffy appearance. This hardy, evergreen shrub naturally forms a dense, upright habit, making it an excellent choice for hedging, specimen planting, or as a structural feature in gardens. 'Squarrosa' thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and prefers a sunny to partly shaded position. It is highly adaptable, easy to maintain, and provides year-round interest, making it a versatile addition to both formal and informal garden designs.
