Gold Mop Cypress 1 Live Evergreen Shrub – Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Mops’ – 1 Gallon Pot

Gold Mop Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Mops’) is a distinctive evergreen ornamental shrub known for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage and soft, threadlike branches. Its slender, cascading foliage creates a mop-like appearance that adds color and texture to garden beds, foundation plantings, and mixed evergreen landscapes.

This Japanese false cypress cultivar develops a compact, rounded to broadly mounding growth habit with gracefully drooping branchlets. The foliage typically displays its strongest golden coloration in sunny locations, while shaded portions may appear more yellow-green. Its evergreen structure provides year-round visual interest, including during the winter months.

This listing includes one live Gold Mop Cypress in a 1 gallon nursery pot, approximately 8 inches tall at the time of shipping. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Gold Mop Cypress is suitable for rock gardens, low evergreen borders, ornamental containers, and landscape accent plantings.
