{"product_id":"gold-drift-weeping-norway-spruce","title":"Gold Drift Weeping Norway Spruce","description":"\u003cp\u003eGold Drift Weeping Norway Spruce (Picea abies 'Gold Drift') is a weeping spruce with golden yellow needles that hang in narrow cascading curtains, typically trained to 8 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide in zones 3 through 7. It has no natural leader, so the height you stake it to is the height it keeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catalog already carries a weeping Norway spruce in the standard green form. Gold Drift adds color to that habit. The needles hold a clear yellow through the growing season, deepening toward chartreuse in shade, and the weeping branches make a vertical line of that color that no mounding gold conifer can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it as a single specimen with open space around it, near a patio, at a bed corner, or beside steps where the cascade falls past a level change. It needs a site with morning sun and shelter from the hottest afternoon exposure, since gold needles scorch more readily than green ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight: full sun to partial sun, with afternoon shade in hot zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater: regular deep watering, especially in its first three seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: moist and well drained, slightly acidic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: stake the leader to your target height, then let the branches fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Gold Drift Weeping Norway Spruce to your cart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nature Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62370646983026,"sku":"24078","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6356\/6133\/files\/2E6A3062.jpg?v=1789756171","url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/gold-drift-weeping-norway-spruce","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
