Monterey Cypress Houseplant Seeds Packet
by Chive Ceramics Studio
$4.95
Monterey cypress seeds grow into a dramatic coastal conifer that develops a distinctive flat-topped silhouette with age. Shido monterey cypress seeds are non-GMO and hermetically vacuum-sealed, so the seed can outlast a paper packet by years. Standard paper-packed seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year. It grows with the confident posture of a tree that has already spent a century standing on a cliff, wind and salt included at no extra charge. Fast-growing and famously wind-tolerant, it treats a coastline's worst weather as background noise on the way to that eventual flat-topped canopy it will wear like a crown. Most seedlings need coddling and reassurance. This one appears to have firm opinions about wind, salt, and neglect, and every one of those opinions turns out to be favorable. Available at the Philadelphia Flower Show, where Chive has exhibited six times, most recently after a long absence.
