Chamaecyparis Obtusa Nana Gracilis #3

$43.00

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’ (Dwarf Hinoki Cypress) is a slow-growing, compact evergreen conifer with a naturally dense, conical to mounded form. Its foliage is dark green, fan-shaped, and finely textured, giving the plant a lush, layered appearance year-round. The shrub remains very small and manageable, making it ideal for rock gardens, bonsai, container plantings, or as a low accent in formal landscapes. Its tight, refined habit and slow growth rate make it highly valued for low-maintenance, year-round structure and a sculptural presence in small or specialized garden spaces.
