Chamaecyparis Pisifera Gold Thread

$28.00

Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Gold Thread’ (Golden Thread False Cypress) is a slow-growing, compact evergreen conifer valued for its bright golden-yellow, thread-like foliage that maintains year-round color. The plant forms a low, dense, mounded habit with soft, feathery branches, creating a fine-textured, sculptural appearance. Its vibrant golden foliage provides striking contrast in mixed borders, rock gardens, or container plantings. ‘Gold Thread’ is particularly prized for its slow growth, low maintenance, and compact size, making it ideal for accent plantings, foundation shrubs, or small landscape features where a vivid, textured evergreen is desired.
