The young plants arrived in good condition, unfortunately despite regular watering they got scorched. They turned brown and brittle, I'll have to replace them. I'm disappointed because they were lovely.

Description
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Minima Glauca' is a dwarf, rounded conifer 1m (3.3ft) tall and very compact with very fine, bluish-green foliage, highly appreciated in rock gardens and small gardens.
Also known as Lawson's Cypress, this false cypress is very similar to Cupressus but differs by its evergreen, flattened foliage in the form of scales. With a round and compact habit, it has a reddish-brown bark and leaves in the shape of an "X", bluish-green, sometimes tinged with grey. It can develop male or female flowers, differentiated by their colour: reddish for males and purplish for females.
Hardy down to -20°C (-4°F), the Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Minima Glauca' has few requirements regarding soil but dislikes waterlogged soil in winter. Make sure to properly drain your soil. It prefers deep, rich, siliceous soils, even poor or chalky. It appreciates cool and humid climates and does not tolerate dry atmospheres and prevailing winds. Plant it in a semi-shaded area or in gentle sunlight.
The Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Minima Glauca' is ideal for container cultivation on a terrace or in small gardens due to its slow growth and small size. With its soft and natural shape, it will work wonders in your rock gardens.
Tips: Water during periods of high heat as it is sensitive to drought.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
