Evergreen Conifer, Shrub
A compact and slow-growing selection of our native false cypress, Chamaecyparis 'Somerset' is prized for its feathery blue-green foliage, upward sweeping form, and easy going ways. Well adapted to our Pacific Northwest climate, it requires very little supplemental water once established. Avoid rich amended soils and over watering.
