Lavender makes a beautiful hedge and bees love it. Fuchsia ditto.  A mixed hedge of native shrubs and trees is there for centuries and a benefit to mankind. If you're planting a big hedge, a mixed, native hedge is a great idea, as happymarion2

........ideas anyone ??? How about a standard fuchsia or a Marguerite? I thought Fuschias would not like full sun all day (when we get some that is) Some do, but what they dont like is hot roots, never put a fucshia in a black pot as it absorbs heat, plant something

the summer, and semi-ripe fuchsia cuttings are taken in August And September. Within a year or two you should have flowering plants. thanks for that jeffd i,ll give it a go I took some cuttings from my Fuschia last summer and left them to root in water before
