 | Leylandii (Cupressocyparis Leylandii)
The fastest growing hedge plant of all (grows by approx 75-90cm p.a.), Leylandii has a bad name when it is not kept to a maintainable height, but this is a very popular choice amongst those who recognise its superb attributes and those looking for a good height on a small budget. Regular clipping of the mid green, spray like citrus scented foliage, in midsummer and autumn, can make this a superb, dense, formal garden hedge, ideal as a windbreak and for noise reduction. Leylandii takes nutrients and moisture from the soil so there's a need for a space between the hedge and other shrubs. It likes sun or partial shade, well drained soil and is suitable for seaside gardens. Leylandii will not regrow from old wood, so it cannot be left to get out of hand and then trimmed down to size.
Prices shown are the price per plant. Recommended planting densities for pot grown plants are shown below but this is very much a matter of choice and you can increase or reduce the density depending on your level of patience. Planting density for cell grown plants is 4 per metre in a single row or 6 per metre in a staggered row. These plants are available all year round.
Don't forget to order RootGrow or Bonemeal (see the section at the bottom of the left hand menu).
