Plant description

A collection of award-winning (RHS) colourful, evergreen conifers chosen for all year round interest and excellent horticultural characteristics.

What's included:

This awarding winning conifer collection contains one each of the following varieties, each supplied in a 9cm nursery pot:

  • Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star': Dense, spreading branches of attractive, aromatic, silvery-blue leaves and oval, black cones. This low-growing, compact, evergreen shrub is a valuable ground cover plant for a well-drained border or rockery. Grows to 40cm tall.

  • Juniperus x pfitzeriana 'Old Gold': Spreading stems are clothed in aromatic bronze-flushed yellow foliage, which holds its colour well throughout the year. Ideal to use as a specimen plant, it will slowly form a handsome, flat-topped shrub that looks great when planted with rounded and more upright conifers. Grows up to 1m tall.

  • Juniperus horizontalis 'Green Carpet': Short, dense, plume-like branches of aromatic, steely-blue leaves and ovoid, dark blue cones. This creeping juniper is an excellent ground cover plant for a well-drained shrub or mixed border. Perfect for softening the edges of paths and driveways, the handsome, steely-blue foliage takes on purple tints in winter. Grows to 30cm tall.

  • Thuja occidentalis 'Danica': Slowly forming a rounded dome of bright, emerald green foliage, which takes on a bronze flush in colder temperatures, this dwarf conifer will provide an interesting silhouette throughout the year. Where space is limited it can be grown in a pot, but if your borders are large enough try dotting it at intervals along their length. Grows to 50cm tall.

  • Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd': An excellent feature plant for a pot, or for adding structural interest to a mixed border. This evergreen conifer will hold its compact, conical shape well throughout the year and can be planted side by side to create a low screen or hedge. Alternatively, simply use it as a stand-alone feature. Grows to 1m tall.

  • Juniperus scopulorum 'Blue Arrow': Dense, ascending branches of long, pointed, aromatic, steel-blue leaves form a narrow, pencil-shaped plant that is valuable for adding structure and punctuating a planting scheme. Planted in groups of three, it's particularly useful for introducing a feeling of formality into the landscape. Tolerates dry, chalky and sandy soils. Grows to 2m tall.
