About this item
Product details
The Expert Gardener 2.5QT Leyland Cypress Evergreen Live Shrub Plant is a fast-growing, hardy evergreen shrub that provides year-round greenery and privacy. Unlike annuals, this shrub is a long-lived perennial that thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 6–10, making it well-suited for warmer regions. It grows best in full sun to partial shade, with a preference for well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes more drought-tolerant. Known for its rapid growth, Leyland Cypress can reach 50 feet tall and 20 feet wide, making it ideal for privacy screens, windbreaks, and large landscape borders. A standout feature of this particular variety is its dense, feathery, blue-green foliage, which creates a lush, uniform appearance and requires minimal pruning to maintain shape.
- Expert Gardener 2.5Q Leyland Cypress Evergreen Live Shrub Plant Sun
- This plant is considered a shrub because it is a woody plant with multiple stems that typically remains shorter than a tree and retains its structure above ground year-round.
- Light Requirements: When growing your own vegetables, plant in full sun for best results.
- Mature Height: 6-12 ft
- Mature Plant Width: 20–40 ft
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 6a-10a
- Watering Requirements: Newly transplanted plants need consistent, deep watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, typically about 1–2 inches of water per week, with extra attention during the first 1–2 weeks to help roots establish. It’s best to water at the base of the plant early in the day and avoid wetting the foliage to reduce disease risk.
- Soil Requirements: Trees and shrubs thrive in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. For best growth, amend planting areas with compost or peat moss to improve fertility and moisture retention.
- Where to Plant: Choose a location with appropriate sunlight for the specific plant variety, ensuring good air circulation. Most trees and shrubs perform best in areas with full sun to partial shade. Allow enough space for mature growth and avoid planting too close to buildings or other large plants.
- Bloom Color: No bloom color
- Bloom Season: No bloom season
