How to grow a Coprosma intertexta hedge

Coprosma intertexta hedges are not only functional but add amazing interest and texture to a garden. To grow this hedge, the plants should be spaced 50 cm apart. If you desire a dense hedge faster, feel free to space them 40 cm apart. If you space them out to 75 cm apart, the hedge will take longer to fill in and tend to a lot broader. Trimming should be undertaken during active growth in spring with just the sides trimmed so the plants continue to grow upwards. The hedge is generally kept to about 1-1.5 m tall, and with regular trimming they look amazing!
