Screening plants are a great way of blocking out unwanted views, edging paths and marking boundaries. Whether you’re after a shorter, more compact form, native Australian plants or a colourful, bushy display, there’s a hedging option that will suit your home. This selection of enchanting hedge plants not only add colour and greenery to your outside space, but they’re also hardy hedges that can handle hot, dry weather, so your borders will stay looking great in tough conditions.
A fast-growing hedge plant with dark green foliage and red new leaf growth. Sprays of creamy white flowers appear from spring to early summer, followed by small red fruit. Frost and drought-tolerant, it grows in most climates but prefers a sunny spot. Look for named species such as Red Robin and Thin Red. Prune regularly to maintain a dense habit and feed in spring with a slow-release fertiliser. /p>
An evergreen shrub available in a variety of hybrids, this hardy Australian native has a dense growth habit made up of small, tightly packed, silver-green foliage. It grows up to 2m tall and 4m wide. Masses of blue or white flowers appear in spring. It responds well to pruning and is tolerant of drought, heat, cold and frost. Plant in full sun and ensure the soil is well-draining.
A bushy habit, coupled with the distinctive red, pink or white flower spikes that give this woody shrub its name, make it an ideal hedge plant – either as an informal planting or clipped into a neat form. Nectar-rich flowers in spring and summer attract birds and beneficial pollinating insects. Ranging from 0.5m to 4m tall, this screening plant grows well in many different soil types but flowers best in full sun.
The profusion of tubular or bell-shaped pale-green, pink and/or red blooms on this compact shrub are a magnet for birds in winter and spring. Depending on the variety, it grows to 1m to 2m tall and is suitable for planting in most soil types, in full sun or shade. It thrives in coastal areas and is tolerant of dry periods and light frost once established.
