Description

The Golden Italian Cypress injects vibrant, sunny color into the classic columnar form. This striking selection features brilliant golden-yellow foliage that holds its color well year-round, brightest in full sun. More compact and slightly less rigid than the green type, it serves as a dazzling focal point, a colorful vertical accent in mixed borders, or a unique element in formal plantings where a pop of warm color is desired.

• Prized for its bright, golden-yellow foliage that provides year-round color.

• Maintains a narrow, columnar to conical habit, though often a bit more relaxed than the dark green species.

• Color is most intense in full sun; may be chartreuse in partial shade.

• Slow-growing and of a more moderate size (15-25 ft tall).

• An excellent color specimen, focal point, or for creating vertical contrast in planting beds.

• Requires the same well-drained soil and sun exposure as other Italian cypresses.
