A richly green Hinoki with feathery, arching texture and a naturally sculpted shape for year-round structure
FEATURES:
- Deep green evergreen foliage with a softer, more feathery Hinoki texture
- Graceful, slightly arching sprays that give it movement and a refined silhouette
- Naturally dense and tidy with a sculpted look that doesn’t require constant pruning
- Perfect as a focal evergreen near entries, patios, and high-visibility beds
- Great for adding texture contrast against broadleaf shrubs and simple groundcovers
- Strong winter interest with evergreen color and form when the garden is bare
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower

Why plant Graciosa Hinoki Cypress?
Graciosa Hinoki Cypress is chosen for texture you can feel from across the garden. The foliage forms graceful, arching sprays that read softer and more feathery than many Hinokis, giving the plant a gentle, sculptural presence without looking stiff. It holds deep green color all year, bringing reliable structure and winter interest, while the natural form looks “designed” even when you let it grow without fuss.
This is the evergreen you use when a bed needs refinement, a little movement, and that finished, layered look that makes the whole landscape feel intentional.
How to use Graciosa Hinoki Cypress in the landscape?
Plant it as a focal evergreen in a foundation bed, near a patio, or along an entry approach where the texture can be appreciated up close. It looks especially strong against simpler, broader-leaf plants, so pair it with mounded shrubs or clean groundcovers to highlight the feathery sprays. Use it as a single statement plant or repeat it in a few key spots to create cohesion through the landscape. Keep the base planting low and uncluttered with mulch, gravel, or one consistent groundcover so the sculpted outline remains clear and intentional.
Frequently Asked Questions
This conifer does not produce showy blooms. It may form small cones, but it’s grown for evergreen foliage color, texture, and its naturally sculpted form.
Yes. It’s valued for a softer, more feathery look with slightly arching sprays, giving it a gentler texture and a graceful silhouette compared to more rigid Hinoki forms.
Very little. Prune selectively in late winter to remove dead or damaged growth if needed. Avoid heavy shearing so the natural layered texture and sculpted outline remain the feature.
