'Minima Glauca' lawson's cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Minima Glauca') is a shrub for borders, containers, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows slowly to 24 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide.
