Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’ - The golden yellow dwarf thread cypress for every garden
Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’, also known as yellow dwarf thread cypress, is an attractive evergreen conifer that provides colourful accents in the garden all year round with its fine, thread-like foliage and bright golden yellow colouring. Its compact, slightly overhanging growth makes it a perfect choice for rock gardens, heather gardens or as a structural plant in beds and borders.
Bright foliage for vibrant colour contrasts
The Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’ impresses with its soft, delicate needled foliage, which is a warm golden yellow colour. Particularly in sunny locations, it develops an intense colour that lasts throughout the year. Its slightly overhanging growth gives the plant an elegant, almost flowing appearance, making it particularly impressive in combination with dark-leaved plants.
Ideal planting partners for harmonious garden designs
Thanks to its bright colour and compact growth habit, the yellow dwarf cypress can be combined in a variety of ways. It harmonises particularly well with dark green or red-leaved shrubs such as the Japanese maple (Acer palmatum), which creates a great contrast with its delicate foliage. Grasses such as blue fescue grass (Festuca glauca) or lavender also make a nice addition.
Location and soil - the best conditions for optimum growth
Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’ prefers a sunny to semi-shady location. The more sun it receives, the more intense its golden-yellow foliage colouring becomes. The soil should be rich in humus, well-drained and moderately moist. Waterlogging should be avoided at all costs, as the roots react sensitively to this. In dry periods, regular but not excessive watering is advisable.
Hardy and easy to care for - an uncomplicated beauty
This dwarf thread cypress is extremely hardy and can withstand temperatures down to -25 °C without any problems. It requires no special winter protection and remains attractive all year round. Its slow growth makes it particularly easy to care for, as no regular pruning is required. If a more compact shape is desired, it can easily be pruned into shape in spring.
Versatile - from rock gardens to containers
Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’ is an extremely versatile plant that cuts an excellent figure both in the garden and in planters. It is ideal for rock gardens, heather gardens or as decorative border planting along paths and flower beds. It also provides a year-round highlight in larger planters on balconies or terraces and brings structure and colour to any outdoor area.
Bring bright accents to your garden with the yellow dwarf thread cypress
