Cupressus 'Swane's Gold'

Size: 200L
Sale price$1,300.00

Cupressus 'Swane's Gold', known as Swane's Golden Cypress, looks excellent in gardens with its striking bright golden-yellow foliage that provides a stunning contrast against darker greens. Its slow-growing, compact, upright conical form makes it perfect as a feature tree, hedge, or topiary.

This evergreen conifer thrives in full sun, where its vibrant color is most intense. It tolerates drought and frost, requiring minimal maintenance—just occasional pruning to keep its neat shape. For added impact, plant it alongside darker evergreens or underplant with low-growing groundcovers to highlight its vivid color.
