There is a conifer to suit every garden, no matter how small. They are unlike any other shrub, they provide structure, colour and interest all year round and bringing harmony to any planting scheme. They can be effective in a modern formal setting and in a more traditional scheme.
In the 70s and 80s conifer gardens were very popular, now conifers are more likely to be used as structural or specimen plants.
Trimmed plants or topiary make great statement plants.
Conifers grow at different speeds, the garden monster that is leylandii is capable of doubling its size every year.
Dwarf conifers grow very slowly and will be more expensive, why does this matter? Well a cheap conifer is usually a fast-growing type and needs careful planning or regular trimming
easy to grow, they provide all year round colour and structure to the garden.
They may grow bigger than expected, you may need to trim them every year.
