Description & Plant Facts

EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea'

Gold Thread Cypress is actually a variety of Chamaecyparis ( False Cypress ), but is so commonly known as a cypress that we chose to list it among our other cypress selections. This plant has a mounding growth habit which can be kept lower by pruning. It must be planted in full sun to maintain its exceptionally rich gold color, otherwise the result is more of a lime green color if planted in too much shade. It's a very popular accent plant due to its stunning year around yellow gold color and soft threadlike foliage.
