The foliage of ‘Summer Snow’ is its most striking feature. The soft, scale-like leaves are arranged in flat sprays, creating a delicate, feathery texture. The bright green leaves are generously tipped with creamy-white, giving the tree a fresh, snowy appearance that’s particularly vivid in summer, hence its name. This variegation provides a lovely contrast to other plants and can help brighten up shady areas of the garden.
This variety of Lawson Cypress is well-suited to the UK climate. It’s hardy and can withstand cold winters, though it appreciates some protection from harsh winds. ‘Summer Snow’ thrives in full sun to partial shade, with the best colour development occurring in brighter locations.
Gardeners will appreciate the relatively low-maintenance nature of this tree. It doesn’t require frequent pruning to maintain its shape, though you can trim it lightly if desired. ‘Summer Snow’ is also adaptable to various soil types, provided they’re well-drained.
Lawson Cypress ‘Summer Snow’ adds year-round structure and brightness to the garden. Its variegated foliage provides a constant source of interest, looking particularly striking in winter when contrasted against other evergreens or a snowy backdrop.

Lawson Cypress is relatively easy to care for in UK gardens. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly when young, but once established, it’s fairly drought-tolerant.
