Verdoni Japanese Gardens

Verdoni Japanese GardensAnother wonderful cultivar of Hinoki cypress that has bright, cheery yellow leaves over green, lighting up that dark corner in the garden. It is also noted that all of the Hinoki cypress are 'champs' for shady sites. They seem to grow full and do not stretch in the shade. 'Verdoni' will grow 3" 6" per year, resulting in a small tree 5 ft to 6 ft tall and less wide in 10 years. We really like the clean, bright yellow contrasting with dark green plants

so there can be some nice surprises with the flower colors… even something extra special can show up unexpectedly

kicking off the beginning of the 'Big Show'

New from Europe

Merion Station

this dwarf form of Caucasian Spruce develops into a globose plant with many leaders sending out offshoots in all directions

The color change seems to help prevent any burning by the summer sun

but will tighten with age

Plant among darker

The plant is the first yellow of the season to bloom

The flower clusters are much wider than tall and sit atop perfect whorls of leaves that turn down slightly

but in winter the foliage turns an incredible

and this one is quite tight
