Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Moonlight Lace'
Moonlight Lace Hinoki cypress
Creamy white markings brighten layered green sprays on this slow-growing evergreen. Its intricate foliage makes a striking accent near a path or in a mixed conifer planting. Give it space to show its natural branching rather than shearing it into a hedge.
