Planting Distances for planting as a Hedge

We recommend planting Holly, Golden Variegated in a single row between 45cm/18ins apart and 60cm/24ins apart:

Planting closer will mean the plants will grow together and form a hedge quicker, but requires more plants.

We recommend planting with RootGrow. The recommended amount for RootGrow for an order will be shown in your shopping basket.

Pruning

Hedging - As a general rule, plants grown for hedging need pruning to encourage side branching. Usually the harder a plant is pruned the bushier it will be. If they are not pruned there is a danger that the hedges will be thin and bare at the base and that the tips of the plants will die back. If the plant is naturally bushy, less or sometimes no pruning will be needed to achieve a dense hedge.

Holly, Golden Variegated: Prune any straggly or untidy shoots, otherwise no immediate pruning is required.
