Baby Blue Sawara Cypress

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Baby Blue'

I snapped this one up when I saw it tagged ‘best in part sun’. It does get a bit dry in its spot in the summer so the interior has gone a bit brown but appears happy and healthy as long as I don’t fiddle with it to look at the inside.

Additionally, John bought me two mini-sized sawaras that I planted in pots – one on the back deck, the other on the front steps.

UPDATE 2021: The deck stairs specimen is looking much brighter and bluer now that it’s getting more sun.

    Looking good in part sun, part shade - exciting to find another conifer that does well in these conditions

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
