Description
Named for the citrus scented fragrance as well as its bright golden yellow color, the Lemon Cypress is a colorful, compact evergreen shrub. This conifer is best grown in proximity to where family and friends gather, thriving outdoor during warmer seasons but should be moved inside when temperatures dip below freezing to avoid damage. Growing indoors during winter months provides aromatic experience as well as an opportunity to decorate as a miniature Christmas tree for the holidays. When planted in a container, this California native is often placed near doorways, windows, tables, and walkways where the sweet lemony aroma can be fully experienced. The Lemon Cypress grows best indoors or outdoors in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 7 through 10. This colorful evergreen reaches a compact mature height of 6 ft. with a narrow width of 2 ft.
