Mahonia Hedging is fast growing. Used as a stand- alone shrub, a single species hedge or as part of a mixed floral hedge. Mahonia flowers in the Winter and early spring with towers of scented yellow flowers. It is beloved by early pollinators like Bumble Bees because it is an early nectar source. Mahonia has dark green shiny leaves and is evergreen – they are quite prickly and for this reason it can form part of a security hedge. We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge. Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting. If you are not sure how many plants you need or which varieties suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer friendly advice!
