PLANT OF THE WEEK

'LUCAS' GOLDEN HINOKI CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Lucas') - If you looked out at your garden this past winter and thought, "Boring . . . ", a solution may be the newest compact group of conifers.  Lucas will be only 2 - 3' tall at maturity, perfect for urban gardens.  Delicate, fern-like, lacy sprays in that magic colour, lime green, add wonderful interest throughout the year, especially in the months of Nov. - Feb.  Excellent in containers or the garden bed.  Full Sun, Zone 4.  Limited quantity available.

Garden Tip

"WE'RE HUNGRY'

If you keep perennials/shrubs/trees in containers all year round, now is the time to give them some food.  They will have used up most of the available nutrients in the container by now and need more to keep growing this year.  Just add a 1" layer of either compost or Sea Soil on top of the existing soil, being careful not to pile it up against the main stem, which might promote rotting when wet.  Every time it rains, or you add water, the nutrients will travel to the roots.  The reward? Healthy, vibrant bodacious plants that will delight you all year!

That is a quick update for you!  be sure to stay tuned as spring comes closer and closer!
