Botanical facts are drawn from Hesperocyparis arizonica — NC State Extension Plant Toolbox (reference checked September 24, 2026). General preparation and design principles reference University of Minnesota Extension. Garden bloom seasons describe a plant in the reference’s growing context, not global wholesale availability.
