Frequently Bought Together
Description
Slim, upright and beautifully architectural, Cupressus ‘Totem’ is a refined evergreen conifer that brings instant structure to the garden without taking up much space. Think of it as a living column — perfect for adding height to borders, creating rhythm along a path, or styling a pair in pots to frame an entrance.
Its neat, narrow habit makes it especially useful in smaller gardens and contemporary schemes, while still giving that timeless, Mediterranean feel we all love.

Care Guide
Water regularly while establishing; container plants need more consistent watering in warm spells. Feed in spring to support healthy growth, especially in pots. Avoid cutting hard into old wood — light shaping is all that’s needed to keep it looking neat.

Caragh Garden Notebook
For that “designed” look, plant in pairs or repeat at intervals to create a calm, structured rhythm through the garden. In exposed gardens, a sheltered position makes a big difference to how fresh the foliage looks year-round.
