Hinoki False Cypress

Cold, windy in the 30s today.

Now that the voles are gone from the front strip, I really want to re-plant the soft little buns of Hinoki false cypresses that I liked there before.  But I have no idea what dwarf cultivar they were!
in 2010 a neat clean look
Here are some possibilities:

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana' --- this is the bun shaped low form.  It grows 1 foot to two feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide.  Diminutive, dark green.  It's possible that this is what I had before, it was pretty widely available.

'Jean Iseli' is similar to 'Nana', but turns a little amber in winter.


Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Just Dandy' --- this is a bun shaped low form.  It grows 1 foot to 18 inches tall and one foot to two feet wide.  Mid green.  A rounded mound that grows a little wider than tall.  The mid green color looks more like what I had, and it is faster growing.

Wayside Gardens has this in their catalog.  Should I get them?  Plant three next to right of the Gold Cone juniper?
