Product description
A delightful dwarf evergreen conifer, Picea Rainbows End is a wide spreading plant forming a cone of soft needle clumps tipped with bright green foliage in early spring. The early growth is joined by a second flush of bright yellow foliage which lights up the tips of the plant similar to a christmas tree. Rainbows End is a low-maintenance plant that performs best in well-drained fertile soil, it is also extremely versatile, and looks good at the front of a fully exposed border, or in a rock garden. Ideal planting suggestion would be to surround it with gravel to protect foliage.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Picea prefers full sun and well-drained, acidic soil. Avoid planting in heavy, wet soils to prevent root rot.
How to Water
Water Picea deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist. Once established, they are more drought-tolerant but still benefit from consistent watering.
How to Plant
Plant Picea in a well-drained, slightly acidic soil with good airflow. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and position the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and water well after planting.
