    Slow growing, dense globose conifer with soft creamy yellow foliage. An excellent plant for small landscapes or rock gardens.

    Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cream Ball' - The unique color of this compact ball, neither white nor yellow, is truly cream, a soft, rich shade that will complement many landscapes. A close look at the foliage shows that a range of colors and textures, including bluish needles and green scales that are tipped with blond, contribute to the glowing effect. The well-mannered, easy-to-grow conifer maintains a uniform globe shape without shearing and makes a dressy accent or, lined up, an attractive border edge. More sun produces a brighter look.

    MINIATURE. This is indeed a ball shaped plant and will need to have its white foliage protected by partial shade. It grows 1-2" per year.
