Chamaecyparis obtusa Spirited Hosta The flowers attract an arrayThis new and hard to find introduction from NC's conifer expert, Paul Jones, is a seedling from Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii'. The foliage best resembles a dwarf golden Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Graciosa' with very dainty lace like foliage. In our rock garden, this is one of the few dwarf golden chamaecyparis that doesn't foliage burn. Our 15 year old specimen of Chamaecyparis 'Spirited' has reached 8' tall x 3' wide.
