Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis'
Hinoki cypress
Slowly growing to form a dense (slightly irregular) dome of rich green foliage, this evergreen shrub becomes more pyramidal in shape as it matures. Offering year round interest to pots and borders, Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis' is a wonderful addition to the garden - and is particularly useful for adding colour and form throughout the winter.
How to care for Chamaecyparis obtusa Nana Gracilis:
Plant slow-growing, dwarf Chamaecyparis cultivars in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade, and avoid waterlogged conditions. In late winter, apply a generous mulch of compost or bark around the base, keeping it clear of the crown to prevent rot.
These plants need little to no pruning, but any uneven or wayward shoots that spoil the shape can be trimmed back in autumn to maintain a neat, symmetrical form.
