Chamaecyparis Obtusa ‘Aurea’

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Aurea’, or Golden Hinoki False Cypress, is a striking evergreen conifer prized for its soft, golden-yellow foliage and graceful, layered texture. With a slow to moderate growth rate, it forms an upright, pyramidal shape that adds year-round interest and color to the landscape. Ideal as a focal point or in mixed borders, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, ‘Aurea’ is both deer-resistant and low-maintenance, making it a standout choice for gardeners seeking structure and subtle color in all seasons.
