Shrubs for Hedges
Hedges are an indispensable component in landscape design, serving to define property lines, create distinct, well-structured garden rooms, and enclose areas of yard or garden. When choosing shrubs for a hedge, it’s important to consider several factors: height, which may vary from low to high; style, which runs a gamut from clipped and formal to informal to nearly wild; and whether or not an evergreen hedge (providing year-round color) or a shrub that flowers seasonally (but may lose its leaves in autumn) might work best. Gathered here are some of our favorite shrubs for hedging with plenty of choices for a variety of sizes, styles, and landscaping needs.
