Hi there,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for my order of lavender plants that arrived safely today. You must all be working so hard under difficult conditions, and I imagine are inundated with orders, so the fact that all the plants look good and healthy is a credit to your team.Mrs E
Ornamental & Hedging Shrubs for Sale
Shrub for Hedges & Borders
There is a fine line between a version of a shrub intended for ornamental use, and a version intended for hedging. Generally, the hedge plant is the coarser, parent variety (it also tends to be cheaper, due to being grown on a larger scale), while the ornamental shrub is produced after a careful program of cross-breeding or selection. Some species, however, are so "perfect" that there seems little need to try to improve them: many of the shrub plants in this list are just that.
