Collection: Hedge Plants

A good hedge does a lot of work. Privacy from the road, shelter from coastal wind, a backdrop that makes the rest of the garden read, sometimes nest sites and forage for songbirds. Choosing the right plant up front is what separates a hedge that loves where it lives from a hedge that fights you every spring.

This collection brings together everything in our catalog that we routinely recommend for hedging or screening. You'll see classic evergreens like Pittosporum tenuifolium, Podocarpus, Griselinia, English laurel and Portuguese laurel, alongside flowering hedge options, narrow-form columnar trees, and tough natives that fit in the corners of a working landscape.

If you're not sure how far apart to plant them, how tall they'll really get, or which holds up best to coastal salt, ask. Our Plant Spacing Calculator can help you work out the count, and a consultation can walk you through the rest.
