Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ivonne'
Lawson's cypress
This recently introduced conifer is said to have a better resistance to diseases than many of the other forms, and this, combined with its soft, fern-like sprays of yellow-green leaves makes it a popular option. A slow-growing growing plant, it will eventually form a slender column, which looks luminous when the temperatures drop and its colour intensifies to rich gold. Weave is through the border, pot it up, or use it to create a beautiful screen.
How to care for Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne:
Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the immediate crown) in late winter. Pruning is not usually necessary, however any shoots that ruin the symmetry of the plant can be removed in autumn.
