Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Filips Golden

Filip's Golden Tears Lawson Cypress

A striking Lawson cypress valued for its bright golden-yellow foliage that holds color year-round. The soft, feathery sprays glow most intensely in full sun, adding luminous contrast to mixed borders and conifer collections. Naturally upright and narrowly pyramidal, it brings vertical accent without overwhelming smaller landscapes.
