Conifers provide 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.

Planting: Avoid waterlogged ground.  Add any humus material such as garden compost or well-rotted manure. For container planting, most conifers prefer an ericaceous compost. Avoid overpotting small plants.

Aspect: Most conifers like an open, sunny spot. They will tolerate some shade, but avoid planting very shaded areas.

Watering: Conifers are susceptible to being overwatered, especially when grown in containers. Watering after planting is essential, especially in spring and summer whist the plant is settling in. Once the conifer is well established you only need to water during long, dry periods.

Fertiliser: Bonemeal can be added into the growing medium to aid root development. A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring, such as Miracle-Gro.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
