Hedges

Hedges are living walls. Formed by shrubs or small trees, they can be used to block views, delineate boundaries, create garden rooms, or serve as a backdrop for other plants. Depending on the plants you choose, hedges can be formal with a mass of green foliage or wildly exuberant and covered with blooms.

Foliage, whether accompanied by flowers or not, defines hedges. Plants that make good hedges have close-set branches with lots of leaves that start at ground level and continue to the top of the plant.  Most hedges are evergreen. If you don’t mind or actually want bare branches or complete dieback in the winter, though, you can find good hedge plants that are deciduous.
