Chamaecyparis obtusa Lynn’s Ceramic

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Lynn’s Ceramic’ is a unique dwarf Hinoki cypress prized for its sculptural, layered sprays that resemble handcrafted ceramic forms. This cultivar develops a compact, irregular habit with richly textured yellow foliage, giving it a refined, artisanal presence in the garden. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, growing slowly and predictably. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it remains manageable in size and serves as an excellent focal point in rock gardens and curated conifer collections.
