How to Plant Summer Cypress from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Seeds can be sown directly in the garden after the last frost date in your area. The soil temperature should be at least 50°F (10°C) for optimal germination.
  • Indoors: For an early start, sow seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost.

Sowing the Seeds

  • Outdoors: Scatter the seeds thinly over the prepared soil and gently press them down, ensuring good soil contact. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or compost, as they require light to germinate.
  • Indoors: Fill seed trays or small pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix. Sprinkle the seeds on the surface and press them lightly into the mix without covering them too deeply.

Watering and Germination

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Germination typically takes 7 to 14 days, depending on temperature and light conditions.

Transplanting (If Started Indoors)

  • Once seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden. Space plants 1 to 3 feet apart to allow for their rounded growth habit.

Pro Tip

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer if the soil is poor, but avoid excessive fertilization, which may lead to weak, leggy growth, and mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Getting to know your Summer Cypress

Summer Cypress is a fast-growing plant that typically reaches a height of 2 to 5 feet and a width of 1 to 3 feet, depending on growing conditions. Despite being an annual, it completes its life cycle within a single growing season and provides significant visual interest during that time. The plant produces tiny, inconspicuous flowers that appear in late summer to early fall. While the flowers are not a significant ornamental feature, they do serve a role in seed production.
