Chamaecyparis obtusa ´Confucious´
Hinoki Cypress
Zone: 5-8
4"-6" / year
8´-10´ /10 years
upright, conical - partial shade
´Confucious´ is a full bodies upright with lemon yellow outer foliage that changes to a a combination of shades of yellow and greens toward the inside of the plant. It is a slighly slower and fuller bodied grower than the ´Aurea´, while maintaining the layered, cut look characteristic of most of our upright Hinokis. ´Confucious´ can be used as a wondeful contrast for the greens and blues of other conifers, and as well as a perfect companion for annuals and perennials in any size garden.
