Description
Quite a modest and inconspicuous variety for much of the year but come autumn it bursts into life with rich autumnal leaf colours and flaming orangey-red stems. The early summer flowers are loved by pollinators and are followed by dark berries in late summer.
Our UK grown hedging plants are supplied as cell-grown saplings ready for immediate planting into their final positions. Cell-grown plants are known to have high establishment success rates with rapid early growth and are uniform and compact in size for quick and easy planting.
As a guide, use 5 plants per metre length. 5 plants will cover a 1m length, 10 plants will cover a 2m length, and 20 plants will cover a 4m length. When planting, set out in a zig-zag style to encourage a thick and bushy hedge.
Care Tips
Small to medium sized hedging that can be easily clipped and maintained to 1.5m. Growth rate 20 - 40cm per year. Avoid pruning in the first year after planting. Then, prune hard in late winter/early spring to encourage bright, fresh growth.
