Notes
'Baby Blue' sawara cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Baby Blue') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, foundation plantings, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It grows at a moderate rate and has an open habit. The evergreen foliage keeps color through winter, and the plant tolerates drought once settled in.
