Those who think of hedges often have the image of accurately cut, green hedge plants in their minds.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder, after all, classics such as the tree of life (Thuja) or false cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) are still among the most popular hedges today. But if you don&#8217;t like the ever-same green hedges, you don&#8217;t have to do without the privacy screen altogether: Flowering hedges are a great eye-catcher in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>Especially their changeability, with which they present themselves anew from season to season, offers the variety that many gardeners miss with evergreen hedges. In addition, flowering hedges are also an enrichment for the variety of species in the garden.

For example, the Common ninebark &#8216;Diabolo&#8217; is an eye-catcher with blood-red leaves that appear almost black in sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Especially from May to June the flowering hedge forms a dramatic climax when the cream-white flowers open. Also the red-leaved &#8216;Diable d&#8217;Or&#8217; or the yellow-leaved variety &#8216;Dart&#8217;s Gold&#8217; impress with their flowers and leaf coloration.<\/p>\n<p>The Common ninebark is also particularly popular because of its absolutely easy-care nature: the flowering hedge is not only hardy but also very robust and, with a height of up to three meters, forms a reliable screen in summer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8842\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/common-ninebark.jpg\" alt=\"common ninebark\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/common-ninebark.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/common-ninebark-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Blood_Red_Currant\"><\/span>2.

This means that the plant requires hardly any care except for regular watering. In addition, as a flowering hedge, the Blood Currant is particularly hardy.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its dense branching and a growth height of up to two meters, the plant is also suitable as a privacy screen. The pretty red flowers of the plant appear from April to May and not only attract all eyes but also insects.<\/p>\n<p>As an ornamental form, the blood redcurrant only grows sparsely edible fruits, which have a rather sour taste and are therefore quite unpopular with humans. Birds on the other hand are pleased about the berries and like to use the hedge as a food source.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8843\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blood-Red-Currant.jpg\" alt=\"Blood Red Currant\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blood-Red-Currant.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Blood-Red-Currant-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Box-Leaf_Barberry_%E2%80%9CNana%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>3.

In May, when the evergreen, flowering hedge shows its golden yellow blossoms, it even trumps the boxwood: the blossoms are true insect magnets that attract beneficial insects of all kinds. The spherical, black-blue berries are eaten by birds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8844\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Box-Leaf-Barberry-Nana.jpg\" alt=\"Box-Leaf Barberry Nana\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Box-Leaf-Barberry-Nana.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Box-Leaf-Barberry-Nana-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Chinese_Winter_Flowering\"><\/span>4.

Actually, this is not a dream, but rather the Chinese Winter Flowering (Chimonanthus praecox). Already in January &#8211; in milder winters even before Christmas &#8211; the blooming hedge plant shows its full splendor and opens its yellow star-shaped flowers.<\/p>\n<p>The exotic plant is not only a ray of hope for people in winter: if mild temperatures attract beneficial insects from their quarters, they will find a welcome source of food in the Chinese winter flower. With a height of up to three meters and sparse growth, the winter flower is particularly suitable for mixed flowering hedges.<\/p>\n<p>However, it needs winter protection in the first years. However, as soon as the Chinese Winter Flower has established itself as a flowering hedge, it can withstand temperatures down to -10\u00b0 C without any problems and is therefore considered hardy in most regions USA.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8845\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Chinese-Winter-Flowering.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese Winter Flowering\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Chinese-Winter-Flowering.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Chinese-Winter-Flowering-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Lilac\"><\/span>5.

But the Beauty Bush is not only a treat for the eyes &#8211; when the hedge is in bloom, it exudes a pleasant smell in the garden, which also attracts numerous beneficial insects.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its rapid growth, which can be around 30 centimeters per year, and its particularly robust nature, the flowering hedge is ideal in summer as a quick and easy-care visual protection.
