| Description | Pinus mugo Aurea
An unusual form of Dwarf Mountain Pine, the 'Amber Gold' Mugo Pine turns from a green in the summer months to a luminescent gold in the winter. This compact, slow growing pine makes for a perfect low maintenance hedge. Due to its stunning foliage colour, it makes a wonderful winter colour feature plant that can be kept in either pots and containers or directly in the garden.
Pinus 'Amber Gold' tolerates most soils, providing they drain well and prefers a full sun position. | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Pittosporum Sunburst is a hardy, fast growing plant ideal for hedging and screening. It bears foliage that is glossy with rounded lime green leaves with striking yellow markings on them.
Pittosporum Sunburst prefers a position of full sun or partial shade and well drained soil. This plant is wind tolerant. Sunburst is great for hedging and grows well in coastal regions. | Cercis canadensis Roethgold Chain of Hearts™
Cercis Roethgold is a magnificent, lime green feature or shade tree in the Redbud family, sporting the signature redbud heart-shaped foliage. In the spring, the bare branches are covered in lavender pink blossoms, making it a wonderful feature for any garden. Cercis look their best in moist, well draining soils with protection from the harsh afternoon summer sun.
