Story: Coprosma Pacific & Fairy Magnolia
Episode: 9
Presenter: Simon Holloway
Air Date: 27th April 2024

Simon unveils new hedging options from the Australian Horticultural Trials.

• Traditional choices like Lilly Pillies, Vibernums, English box, and Photinia are frequently relied upon for hedging, resulting in a lack of diversity and creativity in garden designs.
• Despite their popularity, these options can become predictable and uninspiring over time.
• The Coprosma Pacific series introduces a refreshing alternative to traditional hedging plants, by not only providing an aesthetic appeal with its exceptional foliage colour, but it also offers practical benefits such as low maintenance requirements and adaptability to varying sunlight conditions.
• Coprosma Pacific’s ability to thrive with minimal watering and occasional trimming makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a hassle-free yet visually appealing hedge.
• The Fairy Magnolia is another standout option highlighted at the trials; beyond its role as a hedging plant, it offers year-round interest with glossy foliage and fragrant white flowers in spring.
• The Fairy Magnolia’s versatility extends to its suitability as a feature specimen, whether in a garden bed or a container, and its low-maintenance nature and ability to provide privacy make it an appealing choice for various garden settings.
