Front garden issues
Page 1 of 2
We have put murrarya hedgeing plants across the front lawn to create some privacy and define our property line from the footpath.
However I want to CHANGE the garden beds under the windows to a more modern, less mantience garden beds. I am looking at using cordylines in a variety of colours and sizes.... with some other smaller plants. A friend told me that landscapers plant in arrangements of 3s or 5s. Please feel free to offer suggestions or PICTURES on how we could plant the gardne beds.
But you will lose light through the windows... so stick to short hedging - in Vic it would be golden diosma for me.

There a re few small gardenias around. Radicans is one to choose
planted on mounds with some zoysia would look good
also some of the little dianellas look lush as well
I have been trying to find out the planting distance for Murraya Min-A-Min as a hedge?
Does anybody know?
Thank you.

I'd go even closer than 50cm for the min-a-min. 30cm has given the best results for me when used as a small hedge. I find at 50cm the hedge doesn't really come together well enough and ends up with gaps. It also takes much longer to look complete, that can make clients a bit edgy
The min-a-min is small so competing for nutrients isn't such an issue and helps keep them at a manageable growth rate, less long term clipping and flowering can be enhanced in some cases.
Have no had any problems with insects near the house and the hedge is starting to come together slowly its only been 5 months, but we had to go back and put some more murrayas in as we agreed we planted them too far apart. so they are about 30-40cm apart now.
Cheers Dv
I am sorry for keep asking question
I am trying to plant Murraya Min-a-Min along the driveway. I know that it was mentioned that the planting distance between the plants is about 30c,. Does this mean that I need to plant Min-a-Min about 15cm from the edge of the driveway?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
Regards, Dv
You will be keeping it clipped no doubt (was clipping some today
I'd try and go for something a little more interesting - but that's just me.
Cheers
Nearly every house built has a cordyline!
Done the min-a-min.
Cheers Dv
