Description
Chamaecyparis thyoides ‘Heatherbun’, commonly known as White Cypress, is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer prized for its dense, rounded form and soft, feathery foliage that ranges from bright green to a silvery-blue hue. Native to the Atlantic coastal plain of the eastern United States, this cultivar thrives in moist, acidic soils and is well-suited for use as a specimen plant, groundcover, or in rock gardens and containers. Its naturally mounded habit and fine-textured foliage provide year-round interest, making it a popular choice for low-maintenance landscapes. ‘Heatherbun’ is especially noted for its tolerance to wet soils and partial shade, distinguishing it from other cypress varieties that prefer drier conditions. This cultivar has been appreciated by gardeners and landscapers for its unique combination of form, color, and adaptability, contributing to its recognition in ornamental horticulture circles.
