I am about to plant a low, formal, evergreen hedge, approx 0.8 - 1.2 metres high and 16 metres long. It fronts a lawn and borders on a pavement so needs to be resilent i.e. must be able to regenerate from old wood in case of vandalism. Has anybody had experience of planting the following: Lonicera nitida, Ilex crenata Convexa orThuja occidentalis. Open aspect, north facing, light shade withy late afternoon sun. I have decided against Escallonia and Box. Any other advice or experience of others would be greatly appreciated.
