Soft Serve® False Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera)
Looking for an evergreen that’s as touchable as it is beautiful? Soft Serve® False Cypress delivers lush color and texture with a twist. Its soft, fern-like foliage is neatly layered into a compact, pyramidal form—think feather duster meets topiary, but way easier to care for.
This unique texture offers a soothing contrast to hardscapes, bold-leaved plants, or rigid architectural lines. It's the perfect plant to soften up the edges, whether you're designing a formal front yard or a cozy backyard nook. Deer-resistant, cold-tolerant, and consistently handsome through all seasons, Soft Serve® is a dependable choice that brings grace and structure without overwhelming the space.
- 6-10 feet tall and wide at maturity
- Hardy in zones 4-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
- Space plants 6-10 feet apart for best results

- Great for borders, hedges, screening, landscapes, mass planting or as a focal point
- Resists deer
- Foliage interest, fall and winter interest
