Advantages of Deciduous Hedges
Deciduous hedging plants offer natural beauty through the seasons, from fresh spring foliage to vibrant autumn colour. They create soft, organic boundaries that suit both modern and traditional gardens. While they lose their leaves in winter, many species provide excellent structure and habitat for wildlife.
Where Deciduous Hedges Work Best
These hedges are ideal for gardens that embrace seasonal changes or benefit from increased winter light. They are often used in larger landscapes, cottage-style gardens and mixed planting schemes. For year-round privacy, consider pairing deciduous options with evergreens from our evergreen hedges collection.
Planting and Seasonal Maintenance
Plant deciduous hedges in well-prepared soil and water well during establishment. Most species benefit from pruning during their dormant season, which helps promote healthy growth the following spring. A layer of mulch can assist with moisture retention and weed control.
