Hinoki Cypress ‘Night Light’ (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Night Light’)

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Night Light’ is a very distinctive ornamental dwarf conifer, valued for its bright variegated foliage and naturally elegant, compact habit. It forms a dense, rounded to slightly irregular silhouette, ideal for rockeries, neat borders, Japanese gardens, and container planting. Its evergreen dark green foliage is subtly edged with creamy yellow to gold, creating a refined contrast that brightens semi-shady areas of the garden throughout the year. Slow-growing, it maintains modest dimensions and requires little maintenance. Well-adapted to Quebec conditions, ‘Night Light’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, as well as a location sheltered from cold winds to preserve the quality of its decorative foliage.
