Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Grow in full sun or partial shade. A sheltered position encourages the healthiest foliage and helps protect the soft growth from drying winds.

Watering

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a healthy root system. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells, especially if planted in a container.

Soil

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Avoid sites that become waterlogged in winter while ensuring the soil does not dry out completely during extended warm weather.

Hardiness and Winter Care

This evergreen conifer is hardy throughout Ireland. Bronze winter colouring is a normal seasonal response to cooler temperatures and the foliage returns to greener tones as growth resumes in spring.

Routine Care

Very little pruning is needed. Remove only dead or damaged shoots, and lightly trim any wayward growth if necessary to maintain the neat rounded crown.

Perfect For

• Formal and contemporary gardens.
• Japanese-inspired planting schemes.
• Entranceways and courtyards.
• Architectural mixed borders.
• Large patio containers and feature planting.

Good to Know

The supplied height of approximately 180cm refers to the overall height at the time of sale. The standard stem will remain at this height, while the rounded crown slowly enlarges over the years.
