Guelder Rose (Hedging) is a lovely hedge for cottage gardens, and informal gardens. Although it has rose in its name, the flowerheads that bloom in May and June more resemble Hydrangea flowers. The clusters of snowball flowers, of early summer, are followed by glossy, red berries in autumn, as the vibrant green, maple-like foliage turns to shades of purple and red. An excellent deciduous hedge shrub for encouraging wildlife, the Snowball Bush makes a superb specimen shrub and is also ideal for hedging with a long season of interest, and grows well in all types of conditions, including coastal areas. Height: 8m (26'). Spread: 4m (13'). Planting distance: 30 - 45cm (12 - 18"). (4 plants per metre for a single line hedge).
