Mixed Evergreen Pack is a carefully selected evergreen hedging mix designed to provide reliable, year-round screening with varied texture, colour, and growth habits. By combining both traditional and modern evergreen varieties, this pack establishes into a dense, visually interesting hedge that remains effective through all seasons.
This combination is ideal for customers looking for a natural but refined evergreen boundary. The mix balances faster-establishing species with longer-term structural plants, helping the hedge bulk up quickly while continuing to improve in density and character over time. Suitable for residential gardens, property boundaries, and privacy planting, it offers flexibility across a wide range of soil types and settings.
Varieties included – equal split (20% each):
Griselinia (Griselinia littoralis) provides quick, upright growth with fresh green foliage. It is particularly valued for its tolerance of wind and coastal conditions, helping the hedge establish coverage early while softer species develop.
English Holly (Ilex aquifolium) adds long-term structure and traditional character. Its dense, spined foliage creates an effective natural barrier, contributing strength and permanence to the hedge once mature.
Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) brings a more refined, compact evergreen element. With glossy leaves and controlled growth, it responds well to clipping and helps create a neat, formal hedge line within the mix.
Red Robin (Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’) introduces seasonal colour through its vibrant red new growth. This adds visual interest and contrast, softening the overall appearance while maintaining evergreen coverage.
Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) forms the backbone of screening within the pack. Its broad leaves and vigorous growth help create rapid privacy, making it an effective filler while slower-growing species establish.
Planting & Use
When planted as a mixed hedge using appropriate spacing, this pack develops into a thick, layered screen with varied foliage texture and colour. It is well suited to regular trimming once established and can be maintained as either a more informal mixed hedge or shaped into a tighter, structured boundary.
This pack is ideal for customers seeking a robust evergreen hedge that offers year-round coverage, visual interest, and long-term reliability without relying on a single species.
