#british #nurserygarden ☎ 01704 827 224 ☎ Mobile:07789 922 457 Before you start looking at different hedge species, you need to think about why you’re getting a new hedge in the first place. Are you trying to shield your private garden from a nosy neighbour? Are you looking for some shelter or protection for your smaller plants? Do you just want to add some colour and variety to your outdoor space? Are you a coastal garden looking for #salt resistant plants? https://hedginguk.com/hedges-for-seaside-coastal-gardens-salt-tolerant-hedging-plants-best/

Different hedges prefer different aspects and soil conditions, so you need to consider what plants would grow best in your garden. You should also consider how much work you’re willing to do in your garden, as some hedge plants may be higher-maintenance than others.

Here’s a helpful list of the main factors you need to consider before choosing a new hedge: Type of Hedge - Hedging plants can be divided into several broad categories, such as evergreen, deciduous, flowering, formal and informal.

Evergreen hedging is best for those who want a consistent screen or boundary all-year round, whereas a deciduous hedge is less susceptible to damage in very windy locations and sometimes preferable if you want a lower-maintenance, more decorative hedge. Similarly, flowering hedge plants are fantastic decorative options.

Formal hedges give a much neater appearance to your garden but require a greater level of maintenance and trimming. On the other hand, an informal hedge is more relaxed and easier to maintain.

Plant of the Day

Sunday 26 May 2024

In my friend’s lovely garden she has created an informal hedge with Libertia grandiflora (New Zealand satin flower). Strong-growing, evergreen clumps of leaves line the entrance and now are covered with white, bowl-shaped flowers. In the autumn the flowers are followed by round seed pods which turn black when they mature.

It starts with the low call of the mourning doves.

The day is the coolest it will be and the shadows creep along the street as they run from the sun. It's always a distinct smell that lingers in the air, but one that can only be described as summer. Harkening back to the days of your youth, to long days spent doing nothing while complaining about the heat, to laughs shared with your friends while doing stupid shit, to tears shed because of sunburns and exhaustion.

Your body carries with it memories that you have since forgotten, memories that can return at the drop of a hat thanks to the specific combination of the sun on your skin and the call of the doves and the intro to that hit song from years ago. The particular sound of ice clinking against your cup or the feel of juice dripping down your chin after biting into a piece of your favorite fruit or the smell of chlorine or salt or dirt, mixing into a body of water that hits you just right.

It starts with the low call of the mourning doves, piercing your heart with stunning precision, knocking the breath from your lungs, even if just for a moment.

Myrtle

Myrtle is more foliar than floral. Old landscapes of the Victorian Era may still include myrtle, Myrtus communis. It is quite a survivor. It had been popular for centuries because of its resiliency. It is very conducive to the sort of formal hedging that was popular during that time. As formal hedges became old fashioned, so did myrtle. Yet, it is still more sustainable than more popular…

Plants are so fucking weird dude. Im sitting here thinking about red vs evergreen huckleberries and how the plants themselves are so incredibly different and we must just call them both huckleberries because their fruits look similar because theres no way they can be that closely related but no. Theyre in the same fucking genus. Like sure its a big genus but my animal obsessed self just cant wrap my head around it. Utterly unreasonable. Thats like if cows and bison were in the same genus

Euonymus Green Spire

Makes a lovely evergreen hedge.

Plant with bonemeal for root development & feed with growmore fertiliser, which has a high nitrogen content.

"Euonymus 'Green Spire'" is a popular variety of Euonymus fortunei, known for its upright, columnar growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hedging or as a structural plant in garden designs.

It is characterized by its small, glossy, green leaves and its ability to maintain a dense, bushy shape with minimal pruning.

Key points about its care and characteristics:

Light: Thrives in both full sun and partial shade, though it may exhibit the best leaf color and density in well-lit conditions.

Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but is quite adaptable to different soil types, including clay, sand, and loam.

Watering: Needs regular watering, especially in dry periods, but is relatively drought-tolerant once established.

Pruning: Can be pruned to shape in late winter or early spring, though it naturally grows in a compact, upright form.

"Euonymus 'Green Spire'" is appreciated for its versatility and low maintenance requirements, making it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add evergreen structure to their landscapes.

A useful small-leaved hedging plant is Lonicera ligustrina var. pileata (box-leaved honeysuckle). This low spreading evergreen shrub responds well to clipping and has small tubular cream flowers in late spring, followed by purple berries.
