ADVICE NEEDED: What hedge and underplanting to plant in the front yard
Comments (14)Thank you all for your comments. Well, it's been a few months since my original post and we have since finished putting up the retaining wall and planting the hedge. We decided to go ahead with Murrayas - planted about 34-40 cm apart. I gave them a good trim about a week after planting at the end of Autumn and another quick trim at the start of Spring. They have really filled out in warm weather and I think the gaps between individual plants should close by the start of winter. I'm really happy with the choice - the hedge looks glossy and lush and the sweet smell of Murraya flowers is just beautiful. We didn't do any underplanting, but I'm still thinking about putting in the dwarf agapanthus for the inside border. A couple of weeks ago we planted some Rhaphiolepis "Snow Maiden" and Rhoeo along one side of the retaining wall to provide a border for a footpath and I'm really happy how it turned out....See MoreNarrow hedging plant
Comments (16)They have shallow root system- so near your colourbond fence- the heat in Summer will not only dry the roots, but also burn them and the foliage. They require regular mulching and fertiliser, else the leaves yellow and they start dropping. Given you want them as the 2nd layer in your already narrow hedge, it will be a full-time job keeping them happy I think. If you are not a fan of this level of garden commitment- check out the regular mondo grass (not mini). It grows like a weed just about anywhere! Aganpanthus is another one. Both would be ideal 2nd layers and maintenance free....See MorePatchy hedge- why are some parts dying?
Comments (0)We have a large hedge at the front of our house, but we have noticed some of the trees are dying. We live in central QLD and we water the hedge regularly. Any help with why certain parts of the hedge are dying would be brilliant...See MorePut Ornamental pears in existing hedge?
Comments (14)Pop over to Pintrest and search “Pleached trees with hedge underneath”, I suspect this is the look your landscaper is looking for. Eg below. Plenty of examples of trees planted amongst hedges. Rather than ornamental pears, have a look at grafted/weeping/standard grevilleas. They fit with your native hedge and will have similar water and food requirements plus they give you some height straight away. And have foliage all year around....See MoreJen
