Tips for a dense and full hedge

• Location: Full sun to partial shade. The plant needs at least a few hours of sunlight per day to thrive.
• Watering: Medium. Ensure regular watering, especially during dry periods. However, avoid waterlogging.
• Fast growing: The plant can grow up to 30 cm per year, allowing your hedge to develop quickly.
• Winter hardiness: Hardy down to -15°C, so your hedge remains green and healthy even in cold climates.
• Pruning: Average pruning is required to maintain shape and density. It is best to prune in late spring/early summer (May-June) and again in early autumn if necessary.
