billyo Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 HiI have a hedge surrounding my property, its evergreen and when cut back too much doesnt regrow, I suspect it the dreaded Leylandi....As its 3 metres deep in places I would like to cut it back to about a metre to recoup some of the space, the only problem is that I have neighbours and dont really want to be overlooked too much. Could anyone give me some options on what I could plant under it, I would like something fast growing (Im happy to water it for a couple of years untill its really established) that will climb up the branches and spread and if possible doesnt loose its leaves in winter. I live around montpellier, so cold not really a problem, but it gets a bit toasty.CheersBillyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have an eleagnos hedge, which grows everywhere around the South West. It is evergreen, doesn't mind shade, vigorous, easier to cut than laurel, prettier and has a wonderful scent in the autumn from little white flowers. My advice is buy the biggest plants that you can afford as then the results are quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
