Lemon Cypress ‘Wilma Goldcrest’ brings bright color, fresh fragrance, and elegant structure to patios, containers, borders, and sunny garden beds. This compact form of Monterey Cypress is loved for its soft, feathery, chartreuse-yellow foliage and naturally narrow, upright shape.

Also known as Wilma Goldcrest Lemon Cypress, this evergreen conifer releases a refreshing lemon scent when the foliage is brushed or warmed by the sun. Its cheerful golden color makes it a standout accent near entryways, patios, walkways, and mixed container plantings, while its vertical habit adds height without taking up much horizontal space.

In the landscape, Lemon Cypress works beautifully as a specimen, container evergreen, soft border plant, or colorful accent among deeper green shrubs. It can also be enjoyed seasonally indoors in a bright location, especially during the holidays, then moved back outdoors in suitable climates.

This variety typically grows more compact in containers, often reaching around 3 to 5 feet tall, while plants grown in the ground may reach 6 to 10 feet tall over time. With its citrus scent, glowing foliage, and tidy form, Lemon Cypress ‘Wilma Goldcrest’ is an easy way to add year-round color and fragrance to your outdoor space.
