Purple Beech Hedging - a wonderful choice for a hedge. With large purple leaves in Spring and Summer turning to a rich copper in Autumn, they offer privacy and reduce noise.

Purple Beech Hedging will grow up to 30cm per year and can be trimmed into a nice tight hedge - we recommend you trim once a year in Autumn to keep the foliage dense.

Purple Beech keeps its leaves on the plant over winter and we refer to it as semi-evergreen. It is non thorny and wildlife friendly - providing great habitat for birds and insects.

Simply choose the height of the plants you want to plant now and the number of plants you need.

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.

For best results plant with Rootgrow gel - it increases the growth rate by up to 50% and really helps the plants establish.

Many apologies but due to a change in the DEFRA plant health regulations following Brexit we cannot ship plants to Northern Ireland - we are working on this and hope a solution is found soon.
