Best flowering hedges – 12 plants for beautiful boundaries

Rose flowering hedge.

Flowering hedges can add spectacular color and scent to your yard, and the best hedging plants can also provide privacy, security and year-round form.

Often overlooked as an opportunity to squeeze more glorious blooms into your garden, flowering hedges can create a true seasonal spectacle – whether you opt to plant a vibrant single species such as forsythia, or go for a dazzling mix of varieties. With decorative hips or berries often following the flowers, these plants can also become an invaluable food source and habitat for insect and wildlife too, all helping to boost the biodiversity of your outdoor patch.
