A fine addition to conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens, Asian theme gardens, formal gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs). Suggested Spacing: best as specimen or use two to frame an entryway Growing Preferences Gold Mop Cypress is exceptionally hardy and easy to grow in containers or the ground in a moist to lightly moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Foliage color is more intense with more sun. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Avoid overwatering, providing only enough water to maintain a damp to moist soil. Established Gold Mop Cypress growing in the ground are exceptionally drought tolerant and would only need supplemental irrigation during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather. No pruning required though can be trimmed one or two times per year for shaping purposes or to control size.
