Golden Smaragd is a wonderful variety of Thuja, an evergreen conifer with a naturally narrow, conical habit. It is slow-growing with sprays of bright yellow-green aromatic foliage. This fabulous collection will be perfect for creating a hedge, dividing up areas of your garden, lining pathways and borders or screening off areas for privacy. Thuja is incredibly easy to grow and requires very little maintenance. It doesn't need regular trimming to keep it tidy, making it the ideal choice for hedging. It's amazingly hardy and can survive temperatures down to -45C, but should be protected from cold winter winds when young. Golden Smaragd is a handsome and colourful decorative tree, ideal as a specimen and perfect for bringing year-round height and structure to your beds and borders. A versatile tree for any part of the garden and well suited to container growing. Thuja thrive in well-drained soil, whether acid, alkaline or neutral. Supplied as a collection of 10 established plants in 9cm pots ready for planting out. Growing up to 5m (16ft 6in) tall and 1.7m (5ft 6in) wide after 20 years.Planting advice for your Thuja: Water your potted plant well. Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 times wider than the nursery pot. Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary. Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots. Sprinkle on some root grow to help establish a sound root system. Place your plant in the hole at the same level as the pot. Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling). Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball. Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc. Newly planted conifers need regular watering to prevent browning - once established they are drought proof. Remove weeds as soon as they appear and mulch well to reduce water loss.Pruning advice for your Thuja: No pruning is required although you can clip to retain its height from spring to late summer; just avoid cutting into old wood. If your plant gets too tall for where you have planted it, clip the top to keep it at the required height.About You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

Also known as Rabbits Foot, Maranta is a native of the Brazilian rainforest. A delightful, compact houseplant, it has beautifully variegated bright green leaves with patches of darker green mirrored each side of the central vein. Ideal for growing in a bright spot, and it will also tolerate shade. Closely related to Calathea, Maranta's leaves lay flat during the daytime and close upwards as if in prayer when light levels fall. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven performer, suitable for growers at every level of experience. Not only are they beautiful to look at, these leafy tropical houseplants also help to clean the air in your home. Houseplants can actually improve the environment in our homes, clearing the air, removing toxins and adding valuable oxygen to the air that we breathe.
