How to Use Golden Mop False Cypress in the Landscape

Called "Golden Mop" for its mop head appearance, this little gem features a cute,unkempt look with a ground-hugging appearance that looks fantastic used in mass.

Order an informal grouping of 3, 5, or 7 plants for a sunny location and combine with colorful perennials and annuals for an amazing look. It also works beautifully with deep, purple foliage plants, as well as the cool tones of Bluestem grasses.

It would work well for foundation plantings, or in the front of borders. And because of the great color, you can repeat this plant throughout your mixed shrub or perennial borders to beef up some winter presence in the yard. This plant stays bright and colorful year round.

Try it in rock gardens to soften the look. Try it near a street. It's drought tolerant once established, and even tolerates some salt. You could use this plant for Bonsai, as well.
