Hedging

Evergreen Shrub that tolerates dense shade. Female plants produce bright red berries in the autumn

This Berberis has stunning bronze-purple foliage that turns a brilliant red colour in the autumn.

Grown for its attractive variegated foliage and colourful winter stems. Elegantissima has grey-green leaves with white margins. In winter the vivid red stems provide an eye-catching display

Elwoodii is probably the most popular of all the Lawson varieties. This conifer has a narrow columnar form with dense sprays of grey-green leaves which are bluer in winter. It is a slow growing cultivar and can make an excellent hedge that does not require too much clipping.

If used as a hedging plant it is less likely to cause disputes between neighbors as it is not as vigorous as the green Leyland cypress. The plume-like sprays of golden yellow foliage provide all year round colour and interest.
