Cupressus macrocarpa 'Lemon Scented Cypress'

Cupressus macrocarpa, the lemon scented cypress, has soft golden-green foliage that gives off a fresh lemon scent when you brush past it. It grows into a neat cone shape and takes well to a light trim, so it suits pots, balconies and courtyards. It also makes a lovely living Christmas tree.

It's happiest outdoors in full sun to part shade. It can come inside for a short stint over the festive season, but give it your brightest spot and move it back out afterwards. Keep the soil evenly moist and don't let it dry out completely, especially in summer.

Available in a 200mm grower's pot.
