Hi,
I have recently moved to a new house which has a wonderful established hedge at the front. I’ve been unable to identify what it is though and many people have given me very different opinions.
I would love to know what type of plant it is so that I can take proper care of it and make sure that it thrives well into the future!
Thanks!
Bethany
Answer:
Sorry Bethany, but it is not possible to identify a plant from a brief description. Take a sample of the leaves and stems and flowers to your local nursery and ask for a qualified horticulturist to help ID it. Good luck, Don
