Description

The Golden Italian Cypress injects vibrant, sunny color into the classic columnar form. This striking selection features brilliant golden-yellow foliage that holds its color well year-round, brightest in full sun. More compact and slightly less rigid than the green type, it serves as a dazzling focal point, a colorful vertical accent in mixed borders, or a unique element in formal plantings where a pop of warm color is desired.

Prized for its bright, golden-yellow foliage that provides year-round color.
Maintains a narrow, columnar to conical habit, though often a bit more relaxed than the dark green species.
Color is most intense in full sun; may be chartreuse in partial shade.
Slow-growing and of a more moderate size (15-25 ft tall).
An excellent color specimen, focal point, or for creating vertical contrast in planting beds.
Requires the same well-drained soil and sun exposure as other Italian cypresses.

Frequently asked questions

View details

Q: Does the gold fade in winter?
A: It typically holds its golden color well through winter, though it may take on a slightly more bronze or olive-gold hue in very cold weather, especially if exposed to harsh winds. It will re-brighten in spring.

Q: Is it as drought tolerant?
A: Yes, once established, it is very drought tolerant. However, as with all colored foliage plants, adequate water during establishment and in extreme heat helps maintain the best foliage color and plant health.
