Australian Native Hedges

About

Australian Native Hedging Plants We may not automatically think of Australian native plants for our hedging choice, but we should. The edge of planting natives is, without a doubt, is climate suitability. For an attractive screening hedge with red leaved new growth try the Acmena smithii 'Firescreen' . For a smaller hedge the Coastal Rosemary (Westringia Jervis Gem) is hardy and is excellent for an informal hedge. Australian gardens, in general, face fairly harsh soil and climate conditions, which can be tough on many plants. Native plants have the advantage of having already adapted to these conditions, and on they will thrive!
