Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Sunlight Lace' Iseli^®

Common Name: Sunlight Lace Hinoki False Cypress, Sunlight Lace Hinoki Cypress

Bright lemon yellow foliage with a texture reminiscent of the fine lace on your grandmother’s wedding dress adorns this light airy tree. Place near conifers of green or blue and you will create a focal point of year-round color. ‘Sunlight Lace’ will achieve the most intense color in full sun, but late afternoon shade will provide the protection needed to prevent sunburn. Discovered as a yellow sport on Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Graciosa’ in 1987 at Iseli Nursery, ‘Sunlight Lace’ will become a highly sought after treasure for the garden. (Iseli Nursery)
