This cultivar of Chamaecyparis pisifera is prized for its striking steel-blue foliage, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add year-round colour and unique texture to their outdoor space.

‘Blue Moon’ grows at a slow to moderate rate, typically adding about 10-15cm per year. It can reach heights of 1.5-2 metres over time, with a compact, globular to broadly conical shape that adds structure and interest to the garden. This diminutive form makes it ideal for small gardens, rock gardens, or as a stunning addition to mixed borders and container plantings.

The tree’s standout feature is undoubtedly its foliage. The soft, feathery leaves are a beautiful steel-blue colour that holds well throughout the year. This cool, almost iridescent hue creates a striking contrast against other plants in the garden and provides an almost otherworldly presence. The foliage may take on a slightly purple tinge in winter, adding further interest to the garden during the colder months.

‘Blue Moon’ is hardier than its delicate appearance might suggest. It’s well-adapted to the UK climate and can handle both full sun and partial shade, although it develops the best colour in full sun. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil but is adaptable to various soil types. Furthermore, it’s also relatively tolerant of urban conditions, making it a versatile choice for many garden settings.

Gardeners love this conifer for its unique colour and texture. You can use it as a stunning specimen plant, where its steel-blue foliage will create a focal point. Or plant it in groups to create a soft, cool-toned backdrop for other plants. It looks fantastic in both modern and traditional garden designs, adding a touch of year-round sophistication and intrigue.

Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate that the dense growth of ‘Blue Moon’ can provide good shelter for small birds and insects, especially in winter. The compact form offers protection from harsh weather and predators.

For gardeners after a low-maintenance, eye-catching evergreen that brings year-round colour to their garden, Sawara Cypress ‘Blue Moon’ is an excellent choice. Its beautiful steel-blue foliage and compact form add a touch of celestial charm to any garden, creating an attractive focal point that’s sure to impress throughout the seasons.

Sawara Cypress ‘Blue Moon’ is relatively easy to care for, which is good news for UK gardeners. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, but it’s adaptable to various soil types. When you first plant it, water regularly for the first growing season to help it establish. After that, it appreciates consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Feed it with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in spring if desired, but it generally doesn’t require much feeding. Pruning isn’t usually necessary unless you want to maintain a specific shape or size. If you need to prune, do it in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
