Lemon Cypress
Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’Bright and aromatic, the Lemon Cypress is an evergreen conifer prized for its striking chartreuse foliage and naturally conical shape, perfect for indoor displays. Its fine-textured branches bring elegance and structure to any room. While handling the foliage, a refreshing lemon scent is released, enlivening the space it inhabits. Popular during the holidays, this plant serves beautifully as a living centerpiece, miniature indoor tree, or festive décor accent.
Designed for indoor environments, the Lemon Cypress thrives in bright, indirect light near a sunny window. Consistent moisture and well-draining soil are essential for its health, while careful attention to humidity and airflow keeps the foliage vibrant. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or container arrangements, providing both visual appeal and a touch of natural fragrance indoors.
With proper care, the Lemon Cypress maintains its brilliant golden-yellow color year-round. Light pruning encourages dense growth and helps maintain its elegant conical shape. It pairs beautifully with other indoor evergreens, small houseplants, or seasonal accents, making it a versatile and low-maintenance option for plant lovers looking to bring greenery and fragrance into their home.
