With its flamboyant red-emerging leaves, the Photinia fraseri transforms your garden into a vibrant sea of red and green tones every year. We will reveal here why Photinia Devil's Dream® is the best fast-growing evergreen hedge plant for your garden.

What should you consider when selecting a fast-growing hedge plant?

Whether it's a townhouse garden, terrace, or a house with green space including a view of the street: for those who value privacy, they will eventually consider the topic of privacy screening. A tall fence made of wood or plastic is not only expensive but visually unappealing as well. Furthermore, they lack any ecological benefits and require a lot of maintenance in a short period of time. For this reason, fast-growing hedge plants are the perfect choice when it comes to privacy screening. However, there are also some things to consider in this regard.

Which plant grows quickly as a privacy screen?

There are various hedge plants that grow quickly, such as Thuja, hornbeam, yew, cherry laurel, cypress, bamboo, and reed. However, when choosing the ideal fast-growing hedge plant, it shouldn't be just about the growth speed. Aspects such as sustainability, space requirement, toxicity, and maintenance effort should also be taken into consideration. For example, bamboo and reed can quickly spread throughout the entire neighborhood without a rhizome barrier. Cherry laurel has no added value for local wildlife and insects, while both Thuja and yew are toxic. Hornbeams are not considered evergreen fast-growing hedge plants as they shed their leaves by the end of winter.
