Thompson and Morgan Italian Cypress Plant Pot 14cm 2 Pack

The Cupressus Sempervirens Stricta, sometimes known as the Mediterranean or Tuscan Cypress, is a superbly architectural conifer that brings a touch of the Mediterranean to any garden. This Italian cypress boasts a pencil-thin, exclamation mark-like growth habit, forming tall, narrow columns of dense, evergreen foliage.Hardy and slow-growing, Cupressus sempervirens exhibits excellent drought resistance, requiring minimal maintenance beyond watering. Ideal for introducing formality and impact to planting schemes, these conifers can frame gates and doorways or serve as bold statement plants punctuating borders. When planted in groups, they create effective evergreen screens.Tolerant and adaptable, they thrive in various garden settings, whether country, coastal, or city. For optimal growth, ensure well-drained soil, nourish the soil prior to planting, and provide shelter from strong, drying winds. If container-grown, use a high-quality soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3. Water regularly during the first year until established and apply mulch at the base in spring to promote growth.Position in full sun. After 10 years, expect a height of 3m, with an ultimate height of 12m and spread of 4m under UK conditions. Supplied in 14cm nursery pots.
