Chamaecyparis obtusa Verdoni

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Verdoni’ is a compact golden Hinoki cypress known for its rich yellow-green foliage and dense, rounded habit. This cultivar offers steady color and refined texture, forming a neat mound that fits easily into smaller landscapes. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with brighter light enhancing its golden tones, and grows slowly and predictably. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it remains modest in size and works beautifully in rock gardens, containers, and color-focused conifer groupings.
