Description

The Wilma Goldcrest is a dazzling, compact star that brings the vibrant lemon-gold color and citrus scent of the Monterey Cypress to small gardens and containers. This slow-growing, columnar dwarf shrub is covered in bright, chartreuse to golden yellow foliage that is brightest in cool weather. Its narrow, upright habit and sensational color make it a perfect potted accent, low hedge, or colorful vertical element for patios, entryways, and mixed borders.

• A compact, columnar dwarf shrub with intensely bright, lemon-yellow foliage.

• Foliage is strongly lemon-scented when brushed or crushed.

• Slow-growing and easily managed, maturing around 6-10 feet tall and only 1-2 feet wide.

• Color is most vivid in full sun and cool weather; may be more lime-green in heat or shade.

• Excellent for containers, small-space hedging, or as a colorful vertical accent.

• More suited to container culture and protected locations than its giant parent, especially in humid climates.
