- Planting & Care
- Enjoy year-round screening with this thick, semi-evergreen hedge that keeps most of its leaves through winter.
- Features small, oval green leaves, fragrant white summer flowers, and charming black autumn berries.
- A robust and fast-growing hedge, reaching up to 5m but easily kept at your desired height of 1-4m.
- Wonderfully versatile, it thrives in most conditions, including coastal gardens, but dislikes very wet soil.
- An RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' variety, its flowers are a magnet for bees and butterflies.
- Please note: this plant is mildly toxic if eaten. We recommend wearing gloves when handling.

- Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil but will tolerate less than perfect conditions.

- Spacing: Plant 5-7 plants per metre. For a taller eventual hedge, plant less densely.
- Watering: Water well when newly planted and during dry spells for the first year.
- Feeding: Not required; this low-maintenance plant gets nutrients from the soil.
- Pruning: Trim twice a year, once in early June and again in late September, to avoid removing new shoots.
