Description
Add a pop of fresh color and citrusy fragrance to your garden or patio with the Wilma Goldcrest Lemon Cypress. A compact cultivar of Monterey cypress, this evergreen conifer is beloved for its chartreuse-yellow foliage and naturally narrow, upright form. When brushed or warmed by the sun, its soft, feathery leaves release a delightful lemony scent, making it as aromatic as it is eye-catching.
Why Lemon Cypress is Unique
The lemon cypress brings cheerful color and soft texture to any setting. Its golden foliage stands out beautifully against darker greens in the landscape, and its vertical form adds structure without bulk. Whether planted in the ground or used as a container accent, the Wilma Goldcrest turns heads with its brightness and sculptural silhouette.

Lemon Cypress Care Tips
Plant your lemon cypress in full sun (6+ hours daily) for the brightest color and best growth habit. It thrives in well-drained soil and appreciates regular watering, especially in summer heat. While it prefers mild, coastal climates, it’s also suitable for overwintering indoors in colder zones. Simply bring it inside to a bright, cool space and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
