Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ellwood's Pillar ('Flolar')
Lawson's cypress 'Ellwoods Pillar'
A handsome, and sought after little conifer that offers year round interest with its dense, columnar habit. The foliage is densely-packed and ranges in colour from grey-green to blue-green, so it offers an accent colour as well as its structural form. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ellwood's Pillar looks great in a pot when placed either side of a doorway, but if planted in the border, team it with either ground-covering or mound-forming plants to add visual interest.
How to care for Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ellwood's Pillar ('Flolar'):
Plant slow-growing, dwarf Chamaecyparis cultivars in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade, and avoid waterlogged conditions. In late winter, apply a generous mulch of compost or bark around the base, keeping it clear of the crown to prevent rot.
These plants need little to no pruning, but any uneven or wayward shoots that spoil the shape can be trimmed back in autumn to maintain a neat, symmetrical form.
