It makes a bold statement as a specimen plant in a sheltered, sunny position or as a striking patio container plant, bringing an exotic, structural quality that is hard to replicate. In mild UK gardens it will develop into a small tree; in colder areas it is best grown in a container that can be brought under cover for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e bold architectural form, exotic appearance, striking container specimen, drought tolerant once established\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at 10 years:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5m x 1m under glass or in favourable conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e full sun; sheltered from frost and cold winds; best in a container in most UK gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e neutral to slightly acid; well-drained sandy soils; excellent drainage essential\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e low; drought tolerant once established; do not overwater; free-draining compost essential in containers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e tender in most UK gardens; overwinter under glass or in a frost-free environment; tolerates brief light frosts only\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","offers":[{"title":"2 litre","offer_id":56986872775034,"sku":"897582","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/cussonia-spicata-cussonic","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
