Buy Chamaecyparis ‘Baby Blue’ online from our UK nursery. Baby Blue is a compact Chamaecyparis pisifera with soft, feathery foliage in a striking silvery blue. It forms a neat, rounded cone and is ideal for pots, rockeries and small gardens.
Chamaecyparis, the false cypress, includes many slow-growing, compact conifers with soft, feathery foliage in blue, gold or green. They provide reliable evergreen structure and colour throughout the year.
Chamaecyparis ‘Baby Blue’ grows best in full sun, in moist, well-drained soil. It is a good choice for year-round structure, and also works well for containers, rockeries and gravel gardens and rock gardens. Combine with heathers, grasses, dwarf pines and other conifers.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Water well while young and in dry summers. Avoid cutting into old brown wood; water well while young. Little pruning needed. Never cut into old brown wood. Browning usually results from dry roots or cold, drying winds.
Grows well in containers. Use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, make sure the pot has drainage holes, and water regularly in summer, as containers dry out faster than borders.
