Chamaecyparis obtusa Green Cushion

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Green Cushion’ is a rare Hinoki Cypress cultivar cherished for its naturally rounded, dome-like form and vividly green, feathery foliage. Unlike standard Hinoki Cypress, its growth is tightly mounded and gently layered, giving the plant a soft, almost living sculpture that invites close inspection.

Originating from Japanese horticultural selections, ‘Green Cushion’ develops a rich texture and subtle variations in color as the seasons change, creating year-round interest in rock gardens, bonsai-inspired landscapes, or container plantings. Its slow, deliberate growth emphasizes the layered structure of the foliage, offering a sense of tranquility and refined elegance in small spaces where every detail can be appreciated.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. This cultivar combines miniature scale, architectural form, and enduring evergreen beauty, making it a standout specimen for collectors and gardeners seeking subtle sculptural impact.
