Hi all
Have received planning permission for a fence but it has to be screened by
plants.
Can I buy hedge plants at this time of year?
I am considering Escallonia, Ceanothus, Pittosporum, Hebe, Cotoneaster,
Photinia etc
TIA
Phil

You can buy container grown plants at any time of year and right now they'll
get off to a good start as the soil has warmed up. But if you want to buy
bare root plants you need to wait until autumn. They're not lifted until
their leaves have fallen.

IME They cost much more in pots than when sold with bare roots.

Definitely. But they'll be bigger plants. And of course, it depends on how
soon the OP wants to see some results.
