Why Choose Leylandii Hedge Plants?

Leylandii hedge plants (also known as Cupressocyparis leylandii) are famous for their ability to establish quickly, sometimes growing up to a metre per year in ideal conditions. This rapid growth means you'll enjoy a full privacy hedge sooner, whether you're creating a secluded backyard retreat or a formal boundary. Leylandii require little more than a sunny position and well-drained soil to thrive, making them a reliable evergreen option in a wide range of New Zealand gardens.

Varieties and Related Conifers

Our nursery stocks several popular leylandii varieties, allowing you to tailor your hedge to your preferred height, colour, and texture. For traditional, vibrant green screens, Cupressus leylandii is an industry favourite, offering vigorous growth and dense coverage. If you're looking for improved disease resistance, consider Cupressus leylandii Ferndown, a newer selection valued for its resilience and refined foliage. For gardeners who favour unique tones and textures, explore Cupressus Stapehill or the silvery-blue hues of Cupressocyparis leylandii 'Haggerston Grey'.

These related conifers not only serve as exceptional privacy hedges but also make striking specimen trees or shelterbelts. For groundcover beneath hedges or in mixed evergreen borders, Cupressus Greenstead Magnificent offers graceful, mounding foliage.

Planting and Caring for Leylandii Hedge Plants

Planting leylandii is straightforward. Space your leylandii hedge plants 60-100cm apart to form a dense barrier. Water deeply after planting and during dry spells to help establish strong roots. Annual trimming keeps your hedge tidy and encourages bushier growth. With regular maintenance, leylandii hedges remain manageable and elegant, forming an attractive backdrop for other garden features or planting schemes.
