A Romantic Hedge

Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders, Fall Borders


A bright and romantic hedge for this lovely terrace. Created by Westover Landscape Design, only 2 ingredients were used to achieve this peaceful decor. The white Limelight Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) and the brightly variegated foliage of the Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa macra). They both provide a very distinctive contrast with the bluestone paving of the patio. They also offer a wonderful glow in the evening, thanks to their light reflection, creating an enchanting evening walkway. The lattice fence allows plenty of light to flow through while creating privacy.

All plants are recipients of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Enjoy!
