It grows to about 450mm high and wide in fine, soft grey-green foliage with a cream tone, and it holds its shape with almost no pruning or clips into a formal low hedge when you want one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA dome without pruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e The natural shape is a tidy dome, so it looks planned without a hedge trimmer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClips well.\u003c\/strong\u003e It responds to pruning, so it works for formal hedging, topiary, domes and mounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour contrast.\u003c\/strong\u003e The glaucous, cream-toned foliage lifts darker green plantings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough in most soils.\u003c\/strong\u003e It copes with ordinary garden soil, poor soil and roadside conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheap to look after.\u003c\/strong\u003e Roadside use needs almost no maintenance, which suits low maintenance budgets at home as well as in council plantings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow hedging.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 40cm apart, which is two to three plants per linear metre, and clip twice a year for a manicured edge.

Stock comes from Ozbreed's licensed growers and is grown to order at times, so a pot size can show as backorder, and the tube shows as sold out until our grower lists it again. Order a backorder size and we confirm timing with you before anything ships. Tubes are the economical choice for a long hedge and catch up quickly, while the 200mm plants give a more developed start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
