Suggestion for a green screen hedge![]() It is necessary to pay attention to the contrast in foliage. It is equally essential to plant some deciduous decorative shrubs staggered in the interior of the hedge for its biological balance. Here is my suggestion for a 10 m of green screen hedge : 2 hollies of which one is variegated (Ilex aquifolium et Ilex x meservae), 2 boxwood (Buxus sempervirens), 2 laurustinus (Viburnum tinus), 1 abelia (Abelia x grandiflora), 1 aucuba (Aucuba japonica), 1 cotoneaster (Cotoneaster franchetii), 1 Mexican orange (Choisya ternata). However, if the slow development of holly does not suit you, it can be replaced by 1 elaeagnus (Eleagnus x ebbingei) and 1 Portugal laurel (Prunus lusitanica).
