A hedging plant native to the UK, perfect for adding much sought-after privacy to the garden. Changing shades can be seen throughout the months, beginning with bright green foliage in the springtime, before fading slightly when summer rolls around, followed by a seasonal mix of copper, orange, bronze, and brown shades from early autumn. Most of the leaves will be retained during the winter months to offer privacy, before shedding to make way for new growth in spring. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant out in the garden with confidence. Prune these semi-evergreen, dense, and tidy hedges in August to enjoy cover for a longer period than other varieties, while they can be grown to more-or-less any height to fit the required space. Beech hedges perform well in most soil types, in either a sunny or part-shaded area of the garden.
