Title: Conifer id needed
Post by: Helen Johnstone on July 12, 2013, 06:30:05 PM

Does anyone know what this is?  I am sure it is very common, but I can't find the label anywhere
Thanks
Helen

Almost certainly Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard'. It's a nice blueish leafed, feathery conifer and not that slow growing.

I'm more interested in the big dark dark Sempervivum in the background. But I don't see a label on it either.  :P

Many thanks Will - I will label it accordingly and hope no one at the show disagrees!

If you mean the succulent not in flower it is Jovibarba heuffelii 'Bonds No 1' - I bought it from Simon Bond of Thuya Alpine Nursery in Gloucestershire
