Evergreen Hedging

Evergreen hedging plants – more info

Whether you want a tall evergreen hedge to provide screening or a low edge to a border, we have plants that fit the bill. For a classic green hedge, choose taxus, box or cherry laurel. For extra colour, pink-tinged photinia 'Pink Marble', or variegated Euonymus fortunei ‘Blonde Beauty’ will give you a more varied look.

With all hedges, it’s important to prepare the ground well at planting with lots of organic matter, and keep the plants well-watered until they’re established.

Which evergreen plants are easiest to clip into a formal hedge?

Cherry laurel, griselinia, yew and box are among the best plants for a clipped, formal hedge.
