violet or Copper Beech is a really classy hedging plant
- luxurious green/black/violet leaves from spring until late autumn & then (like green Beech) it's leaves turn copper brown so it has two completely different appearances each year bringing great variety to the garden. Grows 30-60cm per year. Supplied in 3 litre pots. Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting & planting process. They can be planted year round & if necessary can be left in their pots for several weeks before planting if you are unsure as to when you will be able to get round to doing the work; all they need is a little water to keep them happy. As more mature plants you dont need quite as many per metre as the bare root plants (normally 3 to 5 would suffice depending on how dense you require your hedge & how quickly you need it to look established). Pots are a great way to create a new hedge effect more quickly.
