Golden Mop Japanese Gardens

Golden Mop Japanese GardensHere is an easy to grow dwarf conifer with bright color that stays low. It is easily pruned to be whimsical too. The stingy foliage drapes over itself making a dense, textured specimen. Great for slope planting, or in a rock garden. Easy to grow and will become one of those 'cousin it' favorites in your yard or garden. Can be pruned to stay in bounds, and will be the brightest gold in full sun.

The foliage is a nice dark green and the stems have a red tone

This plant was first introduced in 1975 by Vliet Nurseries in Boskoop

contrasting nicely with the dark green older foliage

The plant is compact with attractive foliage

New from the Hachmann Nursery in Bremen

Satsuki hybrid azalea with variable pink and white flowers

He had his own garden and grew many plants from seed from crosses that he made (probably using plants at the estate)

People are always amazed that it is a redwood

The foliage is slightly curving

Excellent as a background specimen for lighter foliage colors

but with the intensity of the foliage

light yellow flowers with darker centers
