Selecting the right Living Walls™ instant hedge starts with understanding your growing environment. Every site is different — and the hedge you choose needs to suit it.

Likewise, some hedges that do well in-ground may not perform so well long-term in containers.
When selecting, consider practical factors such as sunlight hours, shade density, wind exposure, frosts and cold temperatures, water access, drainage, available space, and your desired finished height. Each variety's webpage includes information to help match the right plant to your site.
