Wilma Goldcrest Lemon Cypress – The Golden Evergreen That Smells Like Sunshine
Most evergreens are green. The Wilma Goldcrest Lemon Cypress is golden — a warm, glowing column of chartreuse-gold foliage that catches the light and fills the air with a fresh, natural lemon fragrance every time you brush past it.
It's the kind of plant that stops people in their tracks and makes them ask, "What is that?" — and then immediately want one for their own patio.
Why Wilma Goldcrest Belongs on Your Patio
-
Striking Golden Foliage: Soft, feathery chartreuse-gold needles glow in sunlight and hold their color year-round — a dramatic contrast to the sea of green in most landscapes.
-
Natural Lemon Fragrance: Releases a fresh, citrusy scent when touched or brushed — a sensory experience no other evergreen delivers.
-
Naturally Narrow & Tidy: Grows in a tight, upright cone without pruning — stays compact and proportional in containers, borders, and tight spaces.
-
Container-Friendly: One of the best ornamental conifers for large pots and planters — thrives on patios, balconies, and entryways.
-
Holiday-Ready: Its natural conical shape makes it a stunning living Christmas tree alternative — bring it indoors as a fragrant tabletop or floor tree, then move it back outside after the season.
-
Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant once established, no pruning required to maintain its shape.

Care Tips
Plant or pot in full sun in well-drained soil or a quality potting mix. Water regularly during the first season; once established, it's quite drought-tolerant. Cold hardy in USDA Zones 7–10 — in colder climates, bring containers indoors to a bright, cool location for winter. Avoid overwatering, especially in containers.
Also Consider
Love the compact, conical evergreen look but want classic green instead of gold? Our Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a natural companion — pair the two in matching containers for a striking gold-and-green entryway arrangement.
