The Ellwoodii conifer is a versatile evergreen plant that can be incorporated into a variety of outdoor settings.
Garden Borders: Add an upright evergreen feature among flowering plants, shrubs and other conifers.
Rock Gardens: Combine with decorative stones and gravel to create an attractive landscape display.

Gravel Gardens: Its blue-green foliage contrasts beautifully with decorative gravel and stone.

Planting and Care Instructions
Position: Choose a sunny or partially shaded position for the best results.
Soil: Prefers moist but well-drained soil. Avoid planting in areas where water collects around the roots.
Planting: Carefully remove the conifer from its 2 litre nursery pot. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the root ball and plant at the same depth it was previously growing. Firm the soil gently and water thoroughly.
Watering: Water well after planting and keep the soil from drying out while the plant establishes. Water container-grown plants regularly, particularly during warm or dry weather.
Feeding: Apply a suitable general-purpose fertiliser in spring if required, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pruning: This conifer generally needs little pruning. Avoid cutting back into old, bare wood, as conifers often do not regenerate from these areas.
Growing in Containers: Choose a sturdy container with drainage holes and use suitable, well-draining compost. Monitor watering carefully, as pots can dry out more quickly than garden soil.
Maintenance: Remove weeds around the base and check soil moisture regularly, particularly during prolonged dry periods.
