How to Use Alpha Upright Canadian Hemlock in the Landscape

Create an enchanting sense of privacy in your landscape to squeeze the maximum value from your space. Plant "garden walls" to define hard-working outdoor rooms.

Host private dinner parties outside. Share a cup of coffee with friends and neighbors in an intimate front-yard seating area. Shield prying eyes from peeking at your pool deck.

Plants like this work so hard in your garden design. Add just one to effortlessly decorate a bare spot between the windows in your foundation planting.

Use two flanking either side of a garden gate. You'll generate a grand sense of entry without extra work on your part.

Plant a hedgerow for a solid screen two feet on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Use a double, zigzagging, staggered row for faster results.

No need to keep the hedge straight, either. Follow the lay of your land for the most appealing, natural results.

Alpha Upright Canadian Hemlock is also an excellent choice to repeat as a steadfast backdrop for flowering perennials and small shrubs.

Follow the tried-and-true designer trick and include evergreens in thirty percent of your plant choices.

You'll love the frosted look Hemlock gets while wearing a snowy cap in wintertime!

#ProPlantTips for Care

Versatile Alpha Upright Canadian Hemlock can be grown without regard to sun conditions. They do need a three-inch layer of mulch over their root systems to keep them nice and cool.

Mulch should not touch the main stem. Please pull it back at least six inches for proper air circulation.

Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. When it gets dry, drop the hose beneath it and let it soak the surrounding area.

During planting, use Nature Hills Root Booster according to the label directions. You'll set your beautiful new plant up for a lifetime of successful growth, with ingredients that help roots access water and nutrients.

Don't be without at least one of these high-end beauties in your landscape. You'll be back for more, consider ordering several to complete your entire project while we have them in stock.
