Golden Italian Cypress

Th Golden Italian Cypress is a top-choice, powerful accent plant for hot, dry locations. It forms a narrow pencil of tight golden evergreen foliage, reaching 10 feet tall in ten years, and remaining just 12 inches wide, without any clipping. It makes the perfect exclamation point in a bed, at the end of view, between windows around your home, or in pairs framing an entrance or doorway. Plant a row along a walkway or drive, or to create a formal visual boundary. Planted singly or in groups, depending on the room you have, the remarkable plant is very drought-resistant, and it has its strongest gold color – lasting all year round – in full sun and heat.

• Dramatic golden accent plant
• Pencil-thin without any clipping
• Thrives in full sun and dry soil
• Ideal for pots and planters too
• Easy to grow, even in poor soil

The Golden Italian Cypress should be planted in full sun, in any well-drained to dry soil. Once established it is extremely drought tolerant and needs no care to thrive. You don’t even need to clip it, as it naturally retains its narrow, dense form, looking like a gold-sprayed pencil in your landscaping. It grows best in warmer zones, and especially in zones with mild winters and hot, dry summers. It normally has no pests or diseases.
