Low hedging plants – more info

Low hedging creates different zones in the garden without casting too much shade. There are some really fragrant options, and don’t forget to check out the low-maintenance evergreen varieties. If you need pointing in the right direction, read these FAQs to narrow down the right hedge plant for your border.

How to create a low-growing hedge for wildlife?

Choose wildlife-friendly hedging plants to attract wildlife to your garden. These include berry-bearing plants like cotoneaster, some varieties of roses, and lonicera. The berries provide food for birds when they appear. Plant your wildlife-friendly hedging plants close together to provide thick cover for birds and insects to shelter.

Which low-growing hedge variety is low-maintenance

Choose a low-growing evergreen hedge variety if you want a low-maintenance solution. A taxus or thuja hedge is slow-growing and requires two trims a year to keep it looking neat and tidy; one in early summer and one in autumn. The dark foliage is evergreen and provides a lovely dark-green boundary.

What are the top three evergreen low hedging plants?

Box is a classic evergreen favourite. These delightful plants are hardy and slow-growing, typically trained into topiary or trimmed into low-growing hedges in traditional knot gardens or herb beds. Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin' is a fantastic mid-level hedge with bright red foliage in spring, best paired with the golden-edged euonymus fortunei 'Emerald 'n' Gold'. With these top evergreen hedging choices you can’t go wrong.
