Hinoki Falsecypress

About this plant

The Chamaecyparis Obtusa 'Verdoni', commonly known as Hinoki Falsecypress, is a prized evergreen shrub celebrated for its distinct, shell-like sprays of dark green foliage. Its artfully layered branches create a rich, architectural presence, making it a sophisticated choice for formal gardens, rockeries, or as an eye-catching specimen plant. 'Verdoni' offers a medium growth rate, developing a pyramidal to broadly conical form over time. Its dense, textural appeal provides excellent contrast against smoother leaved plants and broadens its appeal for foundation plantings or use in mixed borders. Ideal for adding a touch of refined beauty to your garden, this Hinoki Falsecypress maintains its vibrant color and graceful form through all seasons, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its elegant shape.

Care & maintenance

Requires well-drained, consistently moist soil. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer designed for evergreens. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder climates. Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches, or to lightly shape, as heavy pruning can disrupt its natural form.
