Larix gmelinii ‘Romberg Park’ is a superb dwarf, deciduous conifer that will develop tufts of short branches giving it appeal in all seasons. In early spring, it is one of the first to push growth, programmed from its cold native habitat and short growing season to take full advantage of warming temperatures. The softly textured, light green needles change to yellow in fall, and then drop to reveal the plant’s many short stems for winter interest. Plant in light, well-drained soil in a sunny garden.

The outrageously large flower clusters on this profuse bloomer have individual florets with recurved petals that resemble hyacinth flowers. Long-lasting flowers held aloft on sturdy stems open white in summer and age to pale pink in fall. Easygoing and adaptable, Skyfall will be happy in sun or part shade and isn’t picky about soil type. Prune in late winter to shape.
