Mulch the plant during summer and remove dead blooms to encourage the plant to flower again.Water the plant regularly during the first weeks of planting and during summer. However, do not over water because as the plant continues to grow the roots go further down in search of moisture.

Low maintenance make Escallonia apple blossom ideal as a foundation or wall plant. The best time to plant it is during spring so that it has enough time to settle before winter.

Phoenix Canariensis Canary Island Date Palm for Sale Online

Phoenix Canariensis Canary Island Date Palm for Sale Online

The Phoenix Canariensis, or Canary Island Date Palm, can bring a tropical feel to your UK garden! While it is only winter-hardy in the mildest parts of the UK, it is well-suited to container growing. It has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit, and so is a guaranteed winner for Southern UK gardeners!As its name makes clear, the Canary Island Palm is native to the Canary Islands, but is now grown all over the temperate regions of the world. It has a large, round crown of dark green leaves, deeply divided and up to 6 metres in length, have very sharp spines at their base. The thick trunk of a Canary Island Date Palm develops an attractive diamond cross-hatched pattern as the tree matures. Phoenix Canariensis will survive outside year-round in the mildest parts of the UK in the south and south-west, and somewhat farther north in a sheltered location if wrapped with fleece in the winter. It is not reliably winter-hardy below -8° C, and will not tolerate long periods of freezing weather in soggy soil. Where it will thrive, it can grow to a height of 12 metres and spread of 8 metres in 20 to 50 years.

It will do best in well-drained, loam soil with an acid to neutral ph. If planting in a container, use a loam-based potting soil with plenty of organic matter. Keep it watered but do not let it stand in water. Apply fertilizer to the soil surface in spring. Planted in the middle of a lawn, your Phoenix Canariensis will quickly become a focal point in your landscape. On a larger property, a grouping of them would be a stunning addition to the landscape.

Camellia Japonica Eugenia de Montijo Red Flowering Camellia

Camellia Japonica Eugenia de Montijo Red Flowering Camellia

Camellia Japonica Eugenia de MontijoCamellia Eugenia de Montijo is an evergreen winter flowering camellia with bright red double flowers. Camellia Japonica originates from Japan, China Taiwan and South Korea and counts for over 90% of the world’s camellias. Selections from the original plants collected from the wild over hundreds of years of breeding have produced a wealth of varieties with varying degrees of hardiness and a full range of colour and form. Camellia Eugenia de Montijo is an example of a Galician cultivar from the Northern Spanish province  where it is a very well-know variety, perhaps less well known in the UK. Eugenia de Montijo is named after Napoleon III’s Grenada-born wife who had flaming red hair. This camelia has glossy green foliage and an upright growth habit. The leaves are mid-sized oval and typical of camellias. In late winter and early spring the medium-large blooms appear in double red rosettes and last many weeks. Throughout the summer Camellia Eugenia de Montijo grows new foliage and develops buds ready for the coming colder months. Camellia Eugenia de Montijo brightens a dull winter garden with its bright red flowers at a time when there’s little else about. It makes the perfect Christmas gift for gardeners as so many plants are not in flower at this time of year.Height And Spread of Camellia Japonica Eugenia de MontijoCamellia Eugenia de Montijo will reach a maximum height of 3 metres tall by 2 metres wide. How Hardy Is Camellia Japonica Eugenia de MontijoCamellia Eugenia de Montijo is UK winter hardy if its roots are well drained. It is originally a woodland plant and appreciates the shelter of taller trees. How To Use Camellia Japonica Eugenia de MontijoThis camellia looks good at the back of a shady mixed border and will grow on a slope as it likes well drained soil. It’s particularly suitable for low maintenance gardens, wildlife spaces for its early blooming flowers, and sheltered woodland gardens.You can grow Camellia Eugenia de Montijo in a container as a specimen bush if the container is very large and well-watered, but ensure the roots do not dry out. How To Care For Camellia Japonica Eugenia de MontijoCamellias thrive in acidic soil and do not like chalk. If the soil is too chalky their leaves will turn yellow. Prepare the planting hole with plenty of acid-based compost and top-dress it each year with an acidic mulch such as pine or bracken compost. If you have chalky soil its best to grow it in a container with ericaceous compost. Camellias need dappled light, prefer shelter, and enjoy moist but well-drained soil. Be careful not to bury the stem of Camellia Eugenia de Montijo in the planting hole as it does best in shallow depths.There’s no need to prune camellias but you can remove dead or diseased branches after the flowers are spent. Mulch well with ericaceous compost and water until established.

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne False Cypress Ivonne Tree

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne False Cypress Ivonne Tree

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana ‘Ivonne’ (or Yvonne) is a medium sized, hardy evergreen conifer that has an impressive conical form and signature golden yellow foliage, particularly in winter. Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana (Lawson's Cypress or False Cypress) is the UK’s most popular garden conifer. The variety Ivonne (sometimes referred to as Yvonne) is a recent, disease-resistant cultivar developed in Oregon State University and prized for its golden-yellow foliage.  Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne is immediately recognizable by its yellow hued leaves. It has flat, soft needles of bright yellow-green from spring to summer, changing to an almost golden colour during the winter months. As the foliage matures, the leaves become closely pressed together in flat sprays. The foliage is fragrant. Each Lawson’s Cypress Ivonne tree produces small male (white turning red) and female (blue turning green) flowers in spring / summer. The female flowers go on to develop into small, brown cones.  The growth form of False Cypress Ivonne is particularly attractive. It growths slowly with a pronounced columnar habit. It matures to a narrow, upright, compact conifer with a dense branching habit. As it ages, it becomes slightly wider at the base. If you wish to grow Lawson’s Cypress Ivonne as a tree, do not prune it as it has a naturally conical form. Coming from the West Coast of the United States, Lawson’s Cypress Yvonne prefers full sun but it will also grow quite happily in partial shade. It will grow in any well-drained soil but it does have a preference for lightly acidic soil. While it is hardy, it is best not to plant it in a very exposed spot as it foliage won’t look at its best. Neither does it like to be waterlogged.  Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne is grown widely in the UK as an ornamental tree. Use it for adding an elegant burst of golden-yellow to the garden. It is helpful to wildlife as the dense evergreen foliage provides shelter for nesting birds in late winter /early spring. Thanks to its dense growth habit and its tolerance of pruning, Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne can be used for topiary - for example Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne spirals and Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne Pom Pom. The Chamaecyparis family of conifers is related to the Cypress (Cupressaceae) family. It is sometimes referred to as False Cypress, as opposed to ‘true’ Cypress which is Cupressus Leylandii. It originates from California and was first introduced to Britain in the 1850s as seeds sent to Lawson’s nursery in Edinburgh, hence the name. Today Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana, according to Kew gardens, is one of the most popular garden trees in the UK and there are many ornamental cultivars available including the blue Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Columnaris.
