Small hedge
Would like to plant a low hedge; preferably one that has perfumed flowers,
around some garden beds. Any ideas what would be nice? Thanks, Margret |

Thanks, Margret Given the problems these days with box blight I would go for something like the common myrtle but in the form tarantina (has smaller leaves and denser growth) this is often used in bridal bouquets and has aromatic leaves as well as scented flowers. It is easy to grow so long as you are not in a cold exposed place -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

Thanks, Margret Hi Margret, It would help to know how low you wish the hedge to be .. evergreen or deciduous .. formal or informal. Bear in mind that if you intend to regularly clip the hedge for a formal or at least tidier appearance, you may be cutting away the flowering shoots. It may be possible, of course, to clip after flowering, depending on the plant and the effect required. It would also help to know about your soil and aspect, including sheltered or exposed position.

Nandina domestica - though not perfumed AFAIK and Fuchsias ditto. Just another thought - if it's to be a low hedge, would patio roses do it? Not pretty to look at in winter, though. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Thanks evderyone for the great suggestions. I only want a lowish hedge (
about 4feet high) I think I would not like to cut off the flowers - too chicken!! Margret "pammyT" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Margret Hi Margret, The Santolinas will make a low hedge; grey or green foliage with yellow flowers. Have you thought about a crop hedge, such as step-over apples, black currants or blueberries (acid soil)? They may only be fragrant just before you eat them :-), but would be a good use of space.
