Happy HEDGING
Keep your formal feature in tiptop condition
Wow, what a difference a hedge makes! Whether it’s straight, curved, big, small or splashed with flowers, a manicured hedge adds charming formality and symmetry. The key to luscious hedging is uniformity. It’s easy to fill any gaps or replace patchy plants with healthy new seedlings (see how, opposite). Prune when needed, especially during the growth periods in spring and summer to keep it spick-and-span. You’ll be a hedge over heels!
