The Cream Ball Sawara Cypress is the brightest and lightest conifer variety you have ever seen. The creamy foliage is almost white at the tips, and inside the bush is a pale yellow-green. This is a unique color combination for conifers, and this rare plant is an outstanding specimen in any garden. It grows slowly, reaching 2 feet tall and wide, and it may eventually become as large as 6 feet in time. The soft, fuzzy foliage is charming and attractive, and this plant is perfect as a specimen in a bed, planted among rocks, or growing in planter boxes.
Grow the Cream Ball Sawara Cypress in full sun, or with some afternoon shade in hot zones. It is hardy in zone 4 and grows in most soils as long as they are not constantly wet. Richer, well-drained but moist soils are ideal. It normally has no pests or diseases and the only care needed is an annual trim to keep it tight and attractive.
