Hedging and landscaping plants

Hedging and Shrubs

Hedges are useful elements in designing a garden, defining boundaries and edges, as well as providing visual screens and shelter. Hedges are also useful in combination with deciduous plants, where they provide a sense of permanence during the winter dormant period. The varieties below have been chosen for their compact growth, ease of trimming, and hardiness. Needless to say it is the first 3 years pruning which is crucial in forming the basis of a good hedge, after which the plants can be let go to achieve their desired height.
