| Description | Lonicera nitida
Fast growing, fine leaf box hedging and topiary plant with a defined edge.
• Get your box hedge or topiary twice as fast!
• Responds very well to pruning, becoming beautifully dense
• Tolerates very poor soils and hot conditions | Nerium oleander 'Madoni Grandiflorum' (White Oleander)
Nerium oleander is a bushy, evergreen shrub that grows thickly and quickly in almost any conditions. It has long, slim leaves and bright, star-shaped, open,creamy/white flowers. Its dense bushy fast-growing nature lends itself well to hedging - but ensure you plant rows of the same variety as they have different foliage characteristics.
The Oleander has suffered from poor press over the years and that is a great shame for it is a tough beautiful shrub which should come into to its own in these new drought filled years. The plants easily cope by the seaside, not seeming to be worried with salt laden air; in arid hot conditions, and even where the drainage is poor.
CAUTION: It is poisonous nature, containing glycocytes, which means that animals won't touch it - but it takes large quantities to poison humans - and it tastes so awful you'd have to be determined or raving mad! There are no recorded cases of serious poisoning for humans.
Approx 2-3m h+w | Rosmarinus officinalis 'Rosea'
Pink Rosemary is an evergreen shrub with pink or mauve flowers and strongly aromatic foliage. Good as an informal hedge and in cottage gardens, also suitable for tubs and pots.

| Content | BoxOz Lonicera has been specially developed by Chris, and is our exclusive hedging plant. It has a deeper green foliage, a denser finish and more clearly defined shape than the traditional English Box.
BoxOz Lonicera is the best plant with which to create your perfect hedge or border as it grows quickly and once your hedge has developed its easy to maintain with only a few trimmings a year. New shoots are soft and easy to cut and trimming is an effortless relaxing experience.
Some traditional hedging plants grow only an inch or two a year. BoxOz Lonicera will produce a calf high border in under twelve months, a knee high hedge in around 18 months, and a waist high hedge in 30 months. Almost any soil is suitable, as long as it is not too swampy. Fertilise your BoxOz Lonicera occasionally with a complete fertiliser, and water as required. | Nerium oleander 'Madoni Grandiflorum' (White Oleander)
Madoni Grandiflorum prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade. Once established they need no extra watering, surviving through the toughest of droughts and the hottest of summers (it can even cope with reflected heat from buildings), as well as surviving through cold winters and the occasional frost.
