The Gold Price Is High

If you want to brighten up your garden and give it a clean crisp look, hedging plants are what you need. These plants come in a wide variety of shades and colours. They can be used to create in garden features as well as hedging. Low cut small hedging plants also make great edging plants. The fact that most of them are evergreen plants means that you can have colour in your garden year round.

Choosing Your Hedging Plants

When choosing your hedging plants there are several things you need to take into account. The first of these is growing conditions in your area. There is no point in buying plants that cannot thrive in your part of the country.

The next consideration is the way the plants will look. Look online and make a note of those plants you particularly like the look of. Most hedging plants are predominately green; however, you can also get them with a red or yellow hue. More and more exotic plants are becoming available, which bloom at certain times of the year that you may also want to consider.

Finally, consider maintenance. Most hedging plants require at least some trimming, so you need to establish how often they need cutting. Some hedging plants can grow very high, so not all plants are suitable for all gardens.

Where to Buy Hedging Plants

There are plenty of places to buy hedging plants. Most garden centres sell them and you will find a limited selection available in DIY stores and supermarkets that have a gardening section. However, by far the best choice of plants is to be found on-line.

On-line you can buy specialist hedging plants as well as bulk standard ones. Some growers specialise in growing this type of plant, so offer a huge selection. Their plants are all strong and healthy and are designed to cope with weather conditions in most parts of the UK. Many of these specialist suppliers have been selling plants via the post for many years, so know how to pack them so that the plants arrive in a healthy condition.
