Shrubs
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Filicoides'
Fernspray Hinoki cypress
Flat, fernlike sprays of emerald foliage spread from ascending branches, giving this evergreen an open, layered look. It makes a textural accent among rounded shrubs. Allow room for continued growth: the ten-year measurements are not its ultimate size.
