Economical Low Hedge Collection

We offer you a collection of 3 varieties of modest stature bushes, not exceeding 2 m in height, interesting for their flowering, foliage or coloured wood. Low-maintenance and requiring little care, they are perfect for easily creating a colourful and flowering decorative low hedge, suitable for a good part of the year, well adapted to small gardens.

The kit consists of:

• 1 x Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea': a bush with deep purple foliage, reaching 1.5 m in height. It adds a colourful touch and contrasts beautifully with the other plants in the hedge. Its foliage can persist through winter if it is not too cold.

• 1 x Viburnum tinus: an evergreen bush of 2 m in height (sometimes 3 m if conditions are very favourable). Its white flowers appear as early as winter, and it retains its foliage throughout the year. It can be pruned after flowering.

• 1 x Cornus sanguinea 'Winter Beauty': a bush of 1.5 m in height, which stands out in winter with its brightly coloured orange-red stems. Naked in winter, they bring light and contrast to the hedge during the cold season.

Plant these bushes in autumn or spring, in full light or partial shade, mixing and spacing them 80 cm to 1 m apart. Set them in ordinary, well-drained and well-prepared soil, improved with leaf compost. Varied and mixed hedges require little or no pruning, allowing you to enjoy the flowers and fruits. This one, which remains quite low, only needs minimal maintenance, consisting of light pruning at the end of winter and late summer.

You can use these bushes to create a boundary hedge, as its height is very easy to keep below 2 m.
