Chamaecyparis pisifera 'True Blue' (Sawara Cypress 'True Blue') is a compact, blue-toned selection of sawara falsecypress that brings soft texture and year-round color to beds, foundations, and mixed conifer plantings. You will notice the dense, silvery blue-green foliage right away, with a plush look that reads as a cool accent against green evergreens and warm-toned shrubs.

At maturity it typically stays in a manageable dwarf range, reaching about 36-48 inches tall with a spread around 24-36 inches. The habit is naturally mounded to upright and can be kept tidy with light shaping if you want a more formal outline, or left untrimmed for a relaxed, fluffy look.

Give it full sun to part shade for best color. In hotter summer areas, some afternoon shade can help keep the foliage looking fresh. Plant in consistently moist, well-drained soil and avoid sites that stay soggy, especially in winter. Mulch lightly to moderate soil moisture and protect shallow roots, keeping mulch off the trunk.

Once established, water during extended dry spells and keep the root zone evenly moist during the first growing season. Minimal pruning is needed, but you can lightly tip-prune to refine the silhouette. This slow-growing evergreen provides dependable winter interest and a cool blue highlight in the landscape.
