HEDGE PLANTS FULL

'If you choose the right evergreen, it's reassuring to know that it will develop into a fully formed hedge in a reasonable time frame without becoming a problem and outgrowing the space given to them in the garden,' says garden designer David Chanell. But it is important to choose a species that will not grow too big for the space as some can become dominant in record time.

Which low maintenance hedges will stay green all year round?ДЄny hedge which is described or labelled as a hardy evergreen will keep its color and its leaves through every season of the year. ItвЂ™s a good choice if you're searching for small garden ideas and it grows well in the UK, Australia and the US, in growing zones 7-10. This is best done in late spring, after the display of starry and superbly scented white flowers (the botanic name actually means вЂfragrant flowerвЂ™). It is a well behaved slow-grower, and only needs pruning if it gets too big for the plot. Hedge plants used decoratively are often trimmed to precise sizes and shapes and may be either evergreen or deciduous shrubs. Some hedges are purely decorative, while others serve primarily a practical function.
