Caragh Garden Notebook
What it brings to the garden
A rounded “lollipop” head on a clear stem — perfect when you want height and structure without bulk at ground level. It’s particularly useful in smaller spaces where every inch matters.
Where to use it
- In pots: A classic choice by doors, gates and terraces
- Along a path or drive: Repeat for a clean, elegant rhythm
- In mixed borders: Adds evergreen backbone and a sense of design
How to care for it
- Water regularly in the first season; in pots, don’t let it dry out completely in summer
- Feed in spring for strong, healthy growth
- Clip to shape 1–3 times a year (late spring through summer) to keep a tight, rounded head
- In exposed spots, stake until well established
Styling ideas
Underplant with softer textures to balance the crisp shape — think lavender, salvias, heucheras, trailing ivy, or seasonal bulbs for a polished, layered look.
