Planting & Care

Enjoy a fast-growing, dense hedge with stunning foliage that provides screening through winter.
Watch the leaves shimmer from golden-green in spring to a rich, coppery-bronze in autumn.
A robust and versatile hedge, easily maintained at any height between 1m and 5m.
Thrives in most soils, making it an excellent choice for a natural windbreak.
Provides year-round interest as the crisp, coppery leaves hold fast until new growth emerges in spring.
Proud recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Features: Native to UK, Autumn colour

Flowers: Small green flowers in spring
Habit: A bushy shrub with several shoots, creating a dense form.

Spread: Spreads approx 2-3m unless pruned.

Planting Time: Can be planted year-round.
Pruning: Prune an established hedge in late summer; August is ideal. A light trim can be done in June if needed.
Pests & Diseases: Good resistance, though aphids and beech bark scale may occasionally be a problem. May be affected by coral spot.
