One
of the more popular types of dwarf hedges is the ninebark
dwarf. This dwarf hedge is a small shrub that has small green
foliage. In the spring, these dwarf hedges have white flowers
that are not particularly showy. The peeling bark of these
dwarf hedges creates a good amount of winter interest. They
prefer full sun to partial shade, and grow in a wide range
of soil conditions. These dwarf hedges are very hardy, and
can be grown in zones as cold as zone two.
Another
common dwarf hedge is the Hancock coralberry. This dwarf hedge
has dark green foliage and pink flowers that appear during
the summer months. Berries that are edible by birds and other
small animals replace the blooms. The berries of this dwarf
hedge remain until long into the winter. Preferring full sun
to partial shade, this dwarf hedge will survive in a variety
of soil conditions. Growing to a height of about two feet,
the Hancock coralberry will be hardy in zones five through
seven.
