    Hi Louise - have a look at Gardening with Conifers by Adrian Bloom http://www.amazon.com/Gardening-Conifers-Adrian-Bloom/dp/1552096335

    you'll have more options than you dreamed of.

    I bet Verdun will come up with some great suggestions too image

    Sorry, my link shows the USA site, but Adrian Bloom is an English gardener and the book is available in the UK.

    Louise, hiya. Can I advise that many conifers sold as "dwarf" are merely slow growing . Many will get so some metres high in time. Choose carefully and look at eventual height.

    Try Abies concolor compacta or/and abies nordmanniana golden spreader.
