Hinoki cypress companions
Hello all,
I have a hinoki cypress crippsi in my yard (zone 5a) I would like to get some companion plants. Any ideas?? I was thinking of putting something really dark green behind it, with a different texture, but taller. I am not good at design, so any advice would be helpful. Thank you. |

Hinokis look good with pretty much anything. My collection is mostly planted in and amongst other shrubs and perennials in a mixed border. For contrast in color and texture, you could combine with other dwarf conifers. Another Hinoki cultivar with deep green foliage like Filicoides or Kosterii would work, as would dwarf pines or nest spruce. Or a Japanese holly or columnar yew for something taller. Or any other broadlleaved evergreen shrub hardy for your area. pam - gardengal |
