We would recommend, depending on the plants, spacing plants at about 2’-3’ (60cm-100cm) apart. The closer plants are planted the quicker the hedge will fill out and become a solid screen.
When planting a hedge ourselves we will plant our 11 litre plants (5’-8’ tall) at 2 feet spacing. Everything else (Laurels and Leylandii in 45 litre or 60 litre pots) we would plant at 3 feet apart due to the bushiness of the plants. Occasionally a client will plant these larger plants in two staggered rows (effectively planting 2ft apart) – which gives a solidly instant hedge.
If you would like to see what the plants you are interested in look like when spaced at the recommended spacing please just ask as we can send you pictures.
