Sawara Cypress Soft Serve®, Japanese Cypress Soft Serve®, Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Dow Whiting', Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Dow Whiting' PP20883
Regarded as a great substitute for dwarf Alberta Spruce, Chamaecyparis pisifera Soft Serve® (Sawara Cypress) is a compact and graceful conifer forming a dense pyramidal, evergreen shrub adorned with soft, fern-like branches. Its bright green, needlelike foliage is adorned with silver-blue flecks on the underside. The foliage keeps its brilliant color year-round, adding drama to the landscape, particularly in winter. Attractive during all seasons, this hardy Sawara Cypress provides unusual texture in the garden and looks charming as a formal accent.
