Taxus baccata 'Repandens Aureomarginata' $16.95
GoldenVariegated Yew
This tidy, spreading, golden-variegated yew enlivens any planting, with richly colored new summer growth that still remains brightly handsome in winter. Spreading to 6 ft. across while never achieving more than two feet in height, it is easily used as a groundcover or as a superlative specimen plant in a large mixed border. Distinguished from 'Fastigiata Aurea' by showing a distinct golden needle margin. Grows to a dense column of glossy foliage, approximately 5 feet high over 10 years.
The foliar tips are speckled with a creamy white on this slow-growing broad pyramid, lending sparkle to the winter landscape. Fragrant foliage is an added attraction, making this a chubby fluffy conifer begging to be hugged when it attains some height! Easily grown in average soils and given full sun
A striking selection which has become my favorite of all the hardy Podocarps, with finely textured summer foliage of blue green that takes on a striking, purplish bronze cast as temperatures nosedive in winter, lending superb color to the garden on a year-round basis. Ultimately producing a shrub 3 ft. by 6 ft., in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil, ideally used as a tall groundcover or for permanent structure in the foundation or mixed border.
Unusually braided foliage starts out golden-orange making this a bright mushroom-shaped squat dome that definitely draws attention. Native to the northern states and Canada, this slow growing dwarf tolerates a range of soil types in full sun to partially shaded areas.
Cryptomeria japonica 'Mushroom' $12.95
Japanese Cedar
The name says it all - a mushroom-shaped squat dome of evenly-spaced needles on delicate branches providing an airy effect. Requires little or no pruning to maintain this form. Easily grown in sun or partial shade provided the soil is relatively moist but well-drained and where protected from dessicating winter winds in coldest reaches of zone 6.
Discovered by Long Island nurseryman Otto Gentsch many years ago, this globe-shaped shrub displays variegation similar to 'Frosty' but is a bit faster-growing with more cream-colored branch trips that are especially colorful in fall and winter. Annual shearing promotes fresh new color and helps maintain the compact form. Like all hemlocks it prefers partially shaded conditions and moist but well-drained soil.
