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. Plant them in a rockery to create shape and structure amongst dwarf shrubs, alpines and heathers.

Planting: 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 be maintain growth.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
