Notes
'Pinpoint Gold' lawson's cypress (Chamaecryparis lawsoniana 'Pinpoint Gold') is a shrub for accent planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It grows slowly, so it stays in scale with its spot for years. The ascending habit gives you an upright shape, and it stays evergreen through the year.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Feather reed grass, Incrediball hydrangea, and Greig's tulip.
