Have you got a boring conifer dominating your view?? Here’s a tip to make it more interesting..
Cotinus coggygira ’Royal purple’ is just one of many shrubs that have fantastic autumn colour.
Cut away some lower branches of the offensive conifer and plant your choice of shrub in the gap.
Planting a contrasting colour will give your ever-drab green tree some all year interest.
You can also grow many climbers through the tree and they will send out shoots to find light which intern flower to give a Christmas tree effect the year round (if you choose your climbers well).
Give it a go, or contact me for a planting plan…
