Ornamental Qualities

Vintage Gold Dwarf Moss cypress is a dwarf conifer which is primarily valued in the garden for its interestingly mounded form. It has attractive gold evergreen foliage. The threadlike sprays of foliage are highly ornamental and turn coppery-bronze in the fall | which persists throughout the winter.

Planting and Growing

Vintage Gold Dwarf Moss cypress will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 3 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions | and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type | but has a definite preference for acidic soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
