Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Melody’ is a compact, slow-growing evergreen Hinoki cypress grown for its softly variegated foliage and refined, architectural form. The dense, fan-shaped sprays are mid green delicately washed and tipped with creamy yellow tones, giving the plant a light, elegant appearance without strong contrast. Naturally forming a neat, rounded to gently conical shape, it remains well proportioned with minimal intervention. Ideal for small gardens, containers, gravel planting, and Japanese-style schemes, ‘Melody’ provides year-round structure and subtle colour where a calm, decorative evergreen is required.
