The Lawson Cypress ‘Chilworth Silver’ Chamaecyparis lawsoniana is a lovely choice for gardeners wanting to bring some elegance into their outdoor spaces. This beautiful variety catches the eye with its gorgeous silver-blue foliage that catches the light beautifully. It’s perfect for creating a feature or bringing year-round colour to your garden.

‘Chilworth Silver’ forms a tidy, conical shape, growing to around 4–6 metres in height and 2–3 metres across when mature. Its manageable size works well in smaller gardens or for adding structure to bigger gardens without taking over. The thick, feathery leaves give it a lovely soft texture that looks striking yet calming.

This cypress is pretty hardy and suits our British weather well. It’s content in full sun or partial shade and copes with different soil types, provided they drain well. It also handles urban conditions nicely, so it’s ideal for city gardens.

‘Chilworth Silver’ is loved by gardeners for how adaptable it is. Use it as a single feature tree, where its silver-blue tones will look brilliant against other green plants. Or plant several to make an unusual, gleaming hedge. It works well in both contemporary and traditional garden styles, bringing a classy touch wherever you put it.

Bird lovers will appreciate that cypresses offer excellent shelter for wildlife, particularly during winter months. The thick foliage gives protection from bad weather and predators.

Lawson Cypresses have been favourites in British gardens since the mid-1800s, though ‘Chilworth Silver’ is a newer variety, chosen specifically for its lovely colouring.

For gardeners wanting a hassle-free, attractive evergreen that looks good all year round, Lawson Cypress ‘Chilworth Silver’ is an excellent pick. Its stunning silver-blue leaves bring a bit of enchantment to any garden, making a feature that’s bound to catch people’s attention. Whether you’re starting a fresh garden or wanting to add some shine to your current one, this cypress might be exactly what you’re after.

Lawson Cypress ‘Chilworth Silver’ is pretty easy to look after, which is great news for busy UK gardeners. It’s happy in full sun or partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. When you first plant it, water regularly for the first growing season to help it establish. After that, it’s fairly drought-tolerant. You don’t need to feed it much – a light application of general-purpose fertiliser in spring is enough. Pruning isn’t usually necessary, but if you want to keep it compact, you can trim it lightly in late spring or early summer. Overall, with minimal care, your ‘Chilworth Silver’ will stay healthy and looking good for years.
