Chamaecyparis pisifera 'King's Gold'

Brighten your landscape in every season with Kings Gold Cypress, a golden evergreen with fine, threadlike foliage and graceful, arching branches. Unlike shrubs grown mainly for seasonal flowers, this distinctive conifer provides dependable color and texture throughout the year. Its soft-looking foliage creates an appealing contrast with broadleaf evergreens, deep green shrubs, and burgundy-leaved plants in sunny garden beds.

Why Gardeners Love Kings Gold Cypress

- Golden evergreen color: Yellow-gold foliage brightens beds and borders even when other plants are not flowering.

- Distinctive fine texture: Slender, threadlike branches give the landscape a soft, cascading appearance.

- Year-round interest: Evergreen foliage adds structure and color through all four seasons.

- Attractive mature shape: Typically reaching about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, it makes a noticeable yet manageable accent.

- Beautiful contrast: Especially striking beside dark green evergreens and plants with purple or burgundy foliage.

Where to Plant Kings Gold Cypress

Use Kings Gold Cypress as a golden focal point near an entry, beside a garden path, or in a mixed foundation planting. Its arching branches look best when given room to develop naturally rather than being clipped into a rigid shape. Planting it near darker shrubs makes the gold foliage stand out, while repeating it in a larger border can tie different planting areas together. Allow space for its mature spread so neighboring plants do not crowd its distinctive branches.

Growing and Care Tips

Plant in full sun for the brightest golden foliage; some afternoon shade can help in particularly hot locations. Choose well-drained soil and water consistently while roots establish, especially during dry weather. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells and avoid waterlogged conditions. Kings Gold Cypress is generally hardy in USDA Zones 4–9. Little pruning is normally needed; remove damaged branches and avoid cutting deeply into old, bare wood, which may not regrow readily.

Create a Colorful Combination

For a bold contrast between golden and burgundy foliage, consider Crimson Fire Loropetalum where your climate supports both shrubs. Its rich leaf color highlights the fine golden texture of Kings Gold Cypress.
