Chamaecyparis obtusa Kosteri Fast Form

Common Name: Fast Form Hinoki Cypress

An elegant Hinoki cypress with softly arching, irregular branching and dense, rich green, shell-like foliage that creates a flowing, textured form. Unlike more rigid selections, ‘Graciosa’ develops a graceful, informal habit with layered sprays that add movement and year-round interest to landscapes. Size: Width: 8 – 12 ft Height: 15 – 25 ft Zones: 5a – 8b Light: Full sun to partial shade (Color and texture best in bright light; light afternoon shade helps in hot climates.) Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils Features: Evergreen conifer with rich dark green, fan-shaped foliage Gracefully arching, somewhat irregular habit Strong four-season structure and winter interest Attracts: Birds (cover and shelter) Uses: Specimen planting, focal point in mixed evergreen borders, woodland gardens, Asian-inspired landscapes Notes: Growth rate is slow to moderate, often taking many years to fill out its mature size. Avoid hot, dry sites and poorly drained soils for best long-term performance. Minimal pruning is needed—this cultivar is best appreciated for its natural, sculptural form.
