| Content | | Golden Biota Conifer is a dense dwarf shrub that has a dense form, with smooth edges. It is ideal for pots, walkways, hedging or borders.
A very hardy plant, the Golden Biota conifer does well in well drained soils. In summer the conifer turns to a marvelous shade of bright gold and turns green in the winter.
Being highly resilient to adverse weather conditions like frost, the Golden Biota conifer grows easily in various weather and soil conditions. All you need a semi-clay to well drained soil, adequate water in the warmer months and a yearly dose of all purpose fertiliser to grow a lush, healthy specimen. | BoxOz Lonicera has been specially developed by Chris, and is our exclusive hedging plant. It has a deeper green foliage, a denser finish and more clearly defined shape than the traditional English Box.
BoxOz Lonicera is the best plant with which to create your perfect hedge or border as it grows quickly and once your hedge has developed its easy to maintain with only a few trimmings a year. New shoots are soft and easy to cut and trimming is an effortless relaxing experience.
Some traditional hedging plants grow only an inch or two a year. BoxOz Lonicera will produce a calf high border in under twelve months, a knee high hedge in around 18 months, and a waist high hedge in 30 months. Almost any soil is suitable, as long as it is not too swampy. Fertilise your BoxOz Lonicera occasionally with a complete fertiliser, and water as required. | |
