Notes
'Pinpoint Blue' lawson's cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Pinpoint Blue') is a shrub for borders, containers, 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 is an evergreen with an ascending habit. It grows slowly and reaches about 71 to 94 inches tall, so it needs little pruning.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Smoketree, and Columbine.
