The Night Light Chamaecyparis plant (false cypress shrub) from the Southern Living Plant Collection stands out with its vibrant evergreen foliage, introducing a captivating color play in your garden. The plant showcases a lively chartreuse hue on its outer leaves, while a deeper green elegantly graces the inner foliage. During the winter, the exterior takes on a bronzed tone, yet the interior maintains its green vibrancy, ensuring year-round color in your outdoor space. This false cypress shrub forms a compact, mounded shape that is perfect for crafting colorful, gradient hedges when planted in groups, or it can bring a splash of chartreuse to your front entrance or patio when placed in a container. Its compatibility with a variety of perennials, especially those in red, purple, or darker green hues, allows for creative and stunning plant pairings.For a continuous hedge, position your Night Light plants approximately 3 feet apart. If you're integrating them into a mixed garden or using them as stand-alone specimens, a spacing of 5 feet or more is ideal to let each plant reach its full width potential.Adaptable to various lighting conditions, from full sun to partial shade, the Night Light Chamaecyparis showcases resilience and maintains its beauty without succumbing to foliage scorch, even under the full glare of the sun.
