Gold Mop False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Golden Mop’) is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage, graceful cascading branches, and naturally compact growth habit. This slow-growing cultivar typically reaches 3–5 feet (0.9–1.5 m) in height and 4–6 feet (1.2–1.8 m) in spread, forming a dense, mounded specimen with soft, thread-like foliage that provides year-round color and texture. Its bright golden foliage is most vibrant when grown in full sun but remains attractive in partial shade. Gold Mop False Cypress thrives in well-drained soils and is well suited for foundation plantings, borders, rock gardens, mixed shrub beds, and specimen plantings where its unique color can serve as a focal point. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and exhibits good tolerance to heat and moderate drought conditions. USDA Hardiness Zones 4–8.
