Lemon Cypress (Thuja occidentalis ‘Rheingold’)

The Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’ / Thuja occidentalis ‘Rheingold’) is a compact, conical to columnar evergreen conifer celebrated for its stunning, soft, lemon-scented golden-yellow foliage that retains its vivid colour year-round. It provides a beautiful, bright splash of warm gold among traditional green plantings, creating excellent colour contrast in mixed borders and formal gardens. It works perfectly in pots and containers, as a low hedge, in formal garden beds, and as a cheerful seasonal accent plant. Relatively compact and slow-growing, it is easy to manage.
