Hi,
I need a hedge which will be about 1.5 mts high
by 4 mts long.
I do not want conifer but a decorative hedge which
will hopefully grow reasonably quick.

It is for a boundary hedge between myself and next door
which will not grow too thick.

It helps if you tell us where you live because not all plants survive in
all
areas of UK. Most plants will require some trimming once or twice a year
but 4 metres isn't going to make that an onerous task. You could try
Fuchsias, Escallonias, Box, Agapanthus (not your usual hedging plant but
very attractive used that way if you get the evergreen ones and live in a
mild area) Euryops which, with us, flower about 8 months in the year and
would need no trimming, and Hypericum 'Hidcote'. If you don't know these,
try doing a Google image search. As to the length, that will depend on
which plant you choose and how many you need to fill the gap.

I live in North Somerset, near to the coast but sheltered.
Thanks for the info so far.


You can check what neighbours grow and with your local nursery but I think
most of the things I've suggested should be okay with you.
