Notes
'Pembury Blue' lawson's cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Pembury Blue') is an evergreen conifer for borders, hedges, 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 and reaches about 8 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. The upright form needs little care and gives you blue-toned color all year.
Pairs well with Amur maple, Daffodil, and Cora Louise peony.
