A dense, evergreen shrub with dark green oval-shaped leaves that are edged with yellow margins.

We recommend trimming our Japanese Spindles each spring to encourage new growth and to maintain their thick layers of foliage – this will improve the appearance of your hedging and also make the Spindle more resilient towards the British winter. The multi-coloured leaves of the Japanese Spindle make it a bright and interesting choice for a garden, whether used individually in a pot, or combined into a hedgerow.

All of our Hedging Plants allow you to style your garden in a range of different ways, not just because of their varied colours, but also because of the way you choose to trim and maintain them. Prune them regularly to achieve a neat, clean form, or let them bush-out a little to create a more natural appearance. Whether you’re using a hedge to give your garden some privacy, or as protection from the weather, road and noise pollution, you’ll want to choose a plant that complements the rest of your garden’s visual appearance. All of our Hedging Plants have evergreen foliage – giving you some pleasant greenery to look at all-year-round.
