Patio Pot Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’)

Patio Pot Lemon Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’) is a vibrant evergreen known for its bright chartreuse-yellow foliage and fresh citrus fragrance. This compact conifer is commonly used in patio containers, adding year-round colour and structure to outdoor living spaces.

The upright, columnar growth habit makes it ideal for decorative planters, entryways, and seasonal displays. When brushed, the foliage releases a pleasant lemon scent, adding sensory appeal.

In Alberta, Lemon Cypress is best treated as a seasonal patio plant or overwintered indoors, as it is not fully hardy in cold climates. It thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil.
