Description
Fernspray Hinoki Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Filicoides’) is a standout dwarf conifer prized for its elegant, fern-like foliage and pyramidal growth habit. Its dark green sprays of scale-like foliage emerge a soft light green in spring, maturing to a rich bluish-green that holds year-round. With a naturally layered and mounded shape, this evergreen adds structure, texture, and four-season beauty to the landscape.
Perfect as a vertical accent in borders, foundation plantings, or screens, Fernspray Hinoki is both refined and resilient. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Low maintenance and slow-growing, it’s ideal for smaller spaces where lasting form and color are desired.
