Hedge plants - evergreen
If year round screening is required it has to be evergreen. If it is a low hedge aromatics such as rosemary or lavender could be considered. Higher hedges can utilise flowering plants^ such as Escallonia or Berberis. There is always a conflict between the production of flowers and the need to keep the hedge clipped, thus removing the parts that will flower. Formal lines suggest box or yew, informal hedges can make use of Aucuba or Photinia where the hedge can be pruned rather than rigidly clipped. Since yew is poisonous it is inadvisable to put this on a boundary where it could be grazed. Although beech is deciduous, if the hedge is not above two metres or so in height the plants will retain their brown leaves until spring.
