HEBE SALICIFOLIA

Hi
Another question from me

I have seen some of these
HEBE SALICIFOLIA
They are barerooted plants that are 12 inches tall, how far apart would they need to be spaced for a hedge and how quickly would they grow into a good hedge?
Thanks in advance

 

I've had a look and discovered they have a spread of 4ft ultimately, (and a height of 6ft) so it would make a nice hedge. I'd say with that spread you would want to plant them about 2 ft apart. What does everyone else think?

 

Why not a double staggered row all at 18". With good feeding and water all should be fine.

 

Just off the top of my head, I was under the impression that most hebes were a bit tender.
So do they do well up there in the wild and windy north?

 

I haven't had any problems with the ones I've grown,Pete, and my MIL has been growing them for years in central and west Scotland, through good and bad winters, so I guess they're not all that tender!

Only trouble is, the rabbits like them! :D
