    Slowly growing to form a bushy rounded shrub, this evergreen conifer could possibly be used as an alternative to Buxus (box). It has stiff, rich green leaves, which take on russet tones as the temperatures dip in the winter, and being compact, it works just as well in pots as it does at the front of the border.

  • Garden care: Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the immediate crown) in late winter. Pruning is not usually necessary, however any shoots that ruin the symmetry of the plant can be removed in autumn.
