Seasonal Interest & Appearance
Spring:
Bright green new leaves emerge, adding a fresh look to the hedge. Clusters of fragrant white flower spikes bloom in late spring, supporting bees and early pollinators.
Summer:
Foliage matures to deep green, forming a thick, lush wall of greenery. Ideal for shading and privacy.
Autumn:
Remains dense and attractive. Small red berries may follow the flowers, maturing to black, feeding birds and wildlife.
Winter:
Fully evergreen and hardy, the hedge maintains its dense form and rich colour throughout the coldest months.
