How to grow a Coprosma Portwine hedge

To grow a Coprosma Portwine hedge, the plants should be spaced 40-50 cm apart. If you desire a dense hedge faster, feel free to space them 30-40 cm apart. Trimming should be undertaken during active growth in spring with just the sides trimmed so the plants continue to grow upwards. Most Coprosma Portwine hedges are kept to about 80-100 cm tall and with regular trimming they look amazing!
