Some great hedging plants: • Yew - perfect for a formal, super-smart evergreen hedge.
• Thuja - makes a stunning conifer hedge for year round colour, and is not too inclined to be rampant!
• Beech - a deciduous plant that gives a good effect for much of the year because the gingery brown autumn leaves often last well. Both purple and green-leafed forms.
• Hornbeam - similar to beech but with few leaves held over winter and more prone to mildew. Great as a neatly clipped hedge.
• Cypress – the ‘Leyland Cypress’ is notorious, but kept well clipped and cut back regularly this does actually make a great hedge.
• Pyracantha - a very spiny evergreen plant excellent for keeping out unwelcome visitors, with pretty creamy- white flowers and red-orange or yellow berries.
• Privet - the classic town hedge, which looks great neatly clipped and has evergreen leaves that make a good foil for nearby flowers.
• Euonymus (pictured) - a useful evergreen with many forms, some variegated green and cream, others green and yellow.
• Hawthorn - deciduous and potentially thorny too, perfect as an ingredient of a ‘native’ hedge and good for wildlife.
• Blackthorn - deciduous and very thorny, great for ‘native’ hedging and wildlife, with pretty white flowers followed by sloes - ideal for sloe gin drinkers but can easily get too vigorous!
