Which plant for a hedge?

Start with the shape and size you want: a clipped boundary, a flowering screen or evergreen shelter. Compare the full grown size as well as the pack offer; pruning and the site will affect the hedge you grow.

What we know and do not know

Hedge packs are offered for caragana and alpine currant. We do not give a spacing figure here; it depends on the hedge you want and how you prune it. Cedar seedlings become full sized trees, not dwarf hedge plants.
