Overview

The foliage of this easy to grow evergreen is dazzling golden yellow when grown in a sunny spot, and a bright yellowish green when grown in partial shade. It makes an eye-catching addition to the border, and it will also act as a great backdrop to seasonal perennials - particularly those with plum or purple-coloured flowers. Alternatively, as it takes regular pruning in its stride, you can use it to create an attractive, formal hedge.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: any well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: fast-growing
  • Flowering period: June to July
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
  • Toxicity: Harmful to humans and pets if eaten

Care guide

Plants grown as free-standing specimens require minimal pruning - where necessary remove any misplaced or diseased branches in late-winter or early spring. Trim hedging plants twice yearly - in May and August. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
