Its growth rate is very slow, just 2-3 inches per year. In ten years it may grow to 3 feet in height x 2 feet in width. It is rated as hardy to -30\u00b0F (USDA hardiness zones 4-7).<\/p>\n<p>Verdon may grow slightly asymmetric. Give it a permanent spot in the garden or grow in a container for several years. Lightly fertilize\u00a0 with 10-10-10 or equivalent\u00a0 granular fertilizer in early spring or feed a water soluble fertilizer such as Hollytone\u00ae, Miracle-Gro\u00ae or equivalent 2-3 times from March through August.<\/p>\n<p>Dwarf conifers ask for very little extra care and prosper for many years in a sunny to partially shaded garden spot or in a container on a deck or patio. They are rarely troubled by disease or insect pests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0For a small urban garden many dwarf evergreen conifers are a good fit.
