Available early May
Picea abies ‘Gold Drift’ adds colour to the garden in whatever shape and boundaries the gardener allows it to have. Early spring brings bright lime green new growth. The foliage that is fully exposed to the sun turns a vibrant yellow in late spring and summer. The brilliance continues until winter when the color becomes more subdued. It can be allowed to ramble as a ground-cover, drape over rock walls, as we have done in the display garden, or become a garden feature when staked upright.
- Height: 4-5 m (12-15 ft if staked)
- Spread: varies with culture
- Cold Hardiness: Zone 3
- Sun or Shade: sun to light shade
- Foliage Colour: gold
- Shape: weeping
Growing and Maintenance Tips
'Gold Drift' prefers well drained soil in full to part sun. The colour tends to be brighter in full sun but it can cause burning. Some protection from hot afternoon sun seems to work the best in our area.
Bloomfest Garden Art Show
Mark your calendar for July 20-28. We will be open every day during that time. Our Bloomfest Garden Show is happening and our daylily field will be in full bloom. This year we will be displaying the work of 23 artists throughout the gardens and daylily field. It is easy to visualize how a piece of art might look in your own garden when you see it in displayed in a garden here.
