How far apart to plant Westringia Grey Box

Westringia Grey Box can be grown as a hedge or as standalone plants. For a hedge, the spacing is generally 30 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 25 cm. As standalone plants that don’t merge, the minimum spacing is 75 cm apart. If the goal is to achieve an informal hedge such that the natural form of the plants is realised and with some merging, the recommended spacing is 45 cm apart.

How to grow a Westringia Grey Box hedge

Westringia Grey Box makes a wonderful hedge 30 cm tall. The spacing used is generally 30 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 25 cm. However, going wider than 30 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 30 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge. Start trimming the sides of the hedge early rather than waiting for it to grow to the target width. This helps keep the hedge bushier and narrower also.
