{"title":"Best Hedging Plants","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the short list: forty hedging plants that have proven themselves in Australian gardens, chosen from the hundreds we sell for density, reliability and ease of care. The range spans clipped box borders under knee height, classic 2 to 3m privacy hedges, and narrow columnar screens for tight boundaries, with lilly pillies, viburnums, murraya, westringia and buxus doing most of the work. Settle the mature height you need first, then choose on look, climate and how often you want to clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose from this shortlist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecide the finished height before you look at a single photo; it rules most plants in or out. For borders under a metre, Japanese box, Korean box, English box and the compact coastal rosemarys hold a crisp line on one or two clips a year. Between one and two metres, 'Min a Min' murraya, 'Aussie Compact' lilly pilly and the larger westringias such as 'Naringa' fill the classic front garden bracket. From two metres up you are into the serious screeners: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lilly-pilly-resilience-syzygium-australe-resilience\"\u003eLilly Pilly 'Resilience'\u003c\/a\u003e, Sweet Viburnum and its 'Dense Fence' and 'Quick Fence' selections, Photinia 'Red Robin' and box leaved privet. For tall and narrow spaces, 'Straight and Narrow' and 'Pinnacle' hold a screen around a metre wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatch the hedge to your climate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery plant here is proven somewhere; the trick is pairing it with your somewhere. In humid subtropical and tropical gardens, lilly pillies and murraya are in their element, and modern psyllid resistant lilly pilly selections stay clean without spraying. In cool temperate and frost prone districts, box, photinia, privet and westringia are the safe bets, with murraya the one to avoid. In Mediterranean and dry inland gardens, coastal rosemary and the box family deliver a tight hedge on a fraction of the water a lilly pilly wants. On exposed coast, westringia is close to indestructible, which is why it appears here in eight forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpacing and how many plants to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the run, divide by the spacing, and add one so a plant sits at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormal box borders: 30cm to 40cm apart.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 6m edge takes 16 to 20 plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWestringia and murraya hedges to 1.5m: 60cm to 70cm apart.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLilly pillies, viburnum, photinia and privet at 2m to 3m: 80cm to 1m apart.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 12m fence line takes 13 to 16 plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColumnar lilly pillies: 60cm to 80cm apart\u003c\/strong\u003e for a narrow screen that closes fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResist planting tighter to speed things up; crowded hedges thin at the base within a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTraining a dense hedge from year one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater new plants deeply twice a week through their first summer and feed in early spring and late summer with a controlled release fertiliser.
