Default Hedge plants -- what else besides forsythia?


I wondered how you could make a hedge from "Rose of Sharon", then thought

Here we go again..........

"Rose of Sharon"

In the US its Hibiscus syriacus
In the UK its Hypericum Calycinum

I cut mine back hard after they bloom every year....They are kept under 4 foot
tall, the shrubs are bushy and bloom like mad in August... They would make a
lovely border... They grow fast, and are easily propagated.
