How far apart to plant Westringia 'Grey Box'

Westringia 'Grey Box' can be grown as a hedge or as standalone plants. For a hedge, the spacing between plants is generally 30 cm. If you want the hedge to fill in more quickly, you can reduce the spacing to 25 cm. As standalone plants that don’t merge, the minimum spacing is 75 cm apart. If the goal is to achieve an informal hedge such that the natural form of the plants is realised and with some merging, the recommended spacing is 45 cm apart.

How to grow a Westringia 'Grey Box' hedge

Westringia 'Grey Box' makes an excellent hedge, growing to 30 cm tall. The spacing used is generally 30 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in more quickly, you can reduce the spacing to 25 cm. However, going wider than 30 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in, and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing, the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 30 cm spacing to achieve a fantastic hedge. Start trimming the sides of the hedge early, rather than waiting for it to reach the target width. This also helps keep the hedge bushier and narrower.
