True Blue False Cypress - Holiday

True Blue False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘True Blue’) glimmers with eye-catching silver-blue foliage on a soft, mounded form. This dwarf evergreen grows slowly to around 3 or 4 feet tall, remaining compact enough for small gardens or foundation plantings. The needles keep their distinctive color through the seasons, adding a refined, fluffy look wherever they’re placed. Because of its minimal pruning needs and tolerance to many soils, True Blue False Cypress provides an easy way to introduce year-round interest in your landscape.

Bringing a live True Blue False Cypress indoors for the holidays adds a refreshing, natural accent when other decorations may look staged. It makes a cheerful companion in the brink winter months until you move it outdoors in spring. It’s a thoughtful alternative to artificial décor, offering a longer lifespan and genuine charm.

Holiday True Blue False Cypress Care

From January to early spring, keep your False Cypress near a window with several hours of bright light, watering lightly whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. If indoor air is quite dry, light misting helps preserve needle quality. Turn the container every week or two so all sides receive balanced light and growth.

Once outdoor temperatures rise above freezing, gradually introduce your plant to fresh air by placing it outside a few hours a day. After a week or so of adjustment, plant it in a spot with well-draining soil and partial to full sun. Dig a hole about twice the root ball’s width, gently backfill, and water thoroughly. A thin layer of mulch helps retain moisture as it settles into its permanent home.
