Golden Charm Thread‑Branch Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera filifera ‘Golden Charm’) delivers year‑round glow with cascading, thread‑fine golden foliage that holds its color even in full sun. Naturally compact and slow growing, it forms a semi‑erect, mop‑headed silhouette that brings soft movement and texture to foundations, mixed borders, and small hedges. Plant in enriched, slightly acidic, well‑drained soil and water regularly the first seasons to establish; thereafter, minimal upkeep and a light annual trim keep its tidy form. An easy‑care evergreen accent that brightens the landscape in every season.
Plant Description
Compact, slow‑growing thread‑branch cypress with weeping, mop‑headed habit and bright golden new growth; valued for fine texture and four‑season color.
Foliage
Thread‑like, draping sprays emerge vivid golden yellow and cloak the shrub; evergreen needles create soft, cascading texture throughout the year.
Sun Requirements
Full sun for best color; site where it receives ample light while being sheltered from drying winds.
Watering Needs
Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry during establishment; once rooted, maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging.
Soil Requirements
Prefers enriched, slightly acidic, moist, well‑drained soil; mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Growth & Size
Slowly reaches about 6 ft. tall and 8 ft. wide; size can be restrained with light, annual shaping (remove only current season’s growth).
Special Features
Dramatic foliage color, easy‑care, compact form; suitable as a small hedge, border backdrop, specimen, or container accent.
Landscape Uses
Excellent for borders, low hedges, and foundation accents; brightens mixed conifer groupings and pairs well with boxwood, weigela, juniper, and ornamental grasses.
