The Baby Blue Sawara Cypress is a gorgeous brilliant-blue evergreen bush, growing steadily to 4 or 6 feet tall in ten years. It has an elegant conical form, with dense branching and foliage right to the ground. Unlike many evergreens, it has soft, mossy foliage, beautiful to touch and never scratching. Plant it as a specimen in a smaller garden, or among other interesting dwarf evergreens. Use a row to make an informal screen, or as a group standing on a lawn in a larger space. It grows well even in warmer zones, unlike many other blue evergreens, which need the cold.
It is easy to grow the Baby Blue Sawara Cypress in full sun or partial shade, across all but the coldest parts of the country. It will grow in ordinary soil, just as long as it is well-drained, and it benefits from added organic material, in the soil and as mulch. Once established it tolerates moderate dryness, and it rarely suffers from any pests or diseases. Deer usually ignore it. Easy to grow, compact and versatile ā this is a top-rated brilliantly blue plant that will bring intense color to your garden all year round.
