Additional Information

Night Light™ is an evergreen, providing year-round interest with its glowing golden foliage that remains vibrant even during the winter months.

  • Flowering Season: Chamaecyparis obtusa Night Light™ does not produce showy flowers, as it is grown primarily for its attractive, colorful foliage and its conical, structural form.
  • Flower Description: While not grown for its flowers, Night Light™ may produce inconspicuous, small cones that add subtle texture. These cones are typically brown and blend into the overall structure of the plant, adding to its ornamental appeal.
  • When to Plant: Plant in early spring or fall to give the shrub time to establish before the heat of summer or the cold of winter.
  • How to Plant: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the plant so the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, then backfill and water thoroughly. Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for mature growth and air circulation.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Soil: Night Light™ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. It can tolerate a variety of soil types but performs best in rich, loamy soils. Ensure good drainage, as this plant does not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
  • Disease and Pest Resistance: This plant is generally resistant to most pests and diseases. Good air circulation and well-drained soil will help prevent any potential fungal issues, though these are rare.
