What are some considerations for an informal hedge?
Informal - considerations
Deciduous shrubs used for hedging can have the bonus of flowers. Consider an informal hedge of mixed flowering shrubs such as quince, weigela or rugosa roses. Small shrubs such as pink spirea and potentillas make excellent informal hedges. Because they are not clipped, they can flower profusely and bloom a long time. Shrubs such as the burning bush (Euonymus) will also give you a brilliant display of fall color.
