The prominent dark red flower-buds appear in autumn and winter, followed by scented pink flowers in spring.Dwarf Conifer Elwoodii – Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Ellwoodii’ is a decorative dwarf conifer. With distinguished upwardly-growing branches and twigs, the soft green foliage gets its splendour in winter when it acquires a hint of steel-blue colour.These neat planted wicker baskets are a tidy 25cm in diameter and will look great wherever you position them. They come as finished kits so you just need to choose a place to show them off – on the patio, by your front door or gate or even placed in the garden – providing instant, long-lasting colour!. 1 Planter. . . . .

RHS bare root plants are grown through low input horticultural methods. Plants are rotated with pigs annually, to improve soil condition. Water is harvested in the winter for use in the summer. No heat or polytunnels are used and, as the plants are dispatched direct from the fields, transport is kept to a minimum.

Broadly conical in shape, it’s tolerant to dry shade, chalky and acid soils and urban pollution. Common box makes a fabulous formal hedge.Garden care: Trim or renovate in summer or early autumn.Please note that as we grow the hedging especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you.
