Description
A popular conifer with a bright yellow foliage of a beautiful warm shade offering year round colour. It has a dense upright conical habit with a medium rate of growth. Can be grown in sunny and partially shaded conditions. Ideal for growing in containers or as a specimen.
Conifers can deliver any sized garden with structure, shape and colour to create all year-round interest. The plants in this group are long lived and available in many shapes, colours and forms and are easy to maintain.
Dwarf and slow-growing varietiesare ideal for the smaller garden and are invaluable in a rock garden setting to create shape and structure amongst dwarf shrubs, alpines, heathers and hardy cyclamen. With proper care, they can make good subjects for containers.
Taller growing varietiesneed plenty of space to develop and are better suited to larger gardens. We state height after 10 years but bear in mind that conifers continue to grow and will generally double in height in another 10 years.
Planting: Conifers prefer an open, sunny spot and a moist but well-drained soil. Add any humus material such as garden compost or spent compost. Watering after planting is essential, especially in spring and summer, and regularly thereafter if dry weather persists. Inadequate watering is the main cause of failure when establishing conifers.
Aftercare:One or two feeds with a slow release fertiliser each year such as bonemeal will maintain growth.
