Chamaecyparis pisifera Baby Blue Ice

Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Baby Blue Ice’ is a compact, slow-growing Sawara Cypress known for its soft, silvery-blue, thread-like foliage. Its naturally dense, conical form gives it a tidy, textured appearance, making it an ideal specimen for small gardens, rockeries, or container plantings.

The delicate, icy-blue needles provide year-round color contrast against darker evergreens, while the layered branching adds subtle architectural interest. Hardy and adaptable, ‘Baby Blue Ice’ thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, offering a miniature, sculptural evergreen accent for collectors and landscape enthusiasts.
