Black Stallion Lophomyrtus x ralphii Hedging plants

The deep red/purple foliage adds dark garden contrasts. 
 
They can be grown as a short hedge of 20cm if you want  or you can let them grow up to around 1.5 metres tall. 
 
 Compact medium shrub.
 
 Evergreen 
 
 Moderate growth rate. 
 
Tolerates light frost and coastal conditions.
 
Low water requirements once established.
 
 Native to New Zealand.
 
 Full sun – part shade.
 
New growth starts as red and then mature to the dark near black tones that they are famous for.
 
  White flower clusters in Spring.
 
 Very hardy.
 
Apart from the obvious hedging, topiary, bonsai and privacy screening uses, it is also attractive as background, border plant, pot plants etc.  
 
The new growth is fine and very easy to trim. 
 
The frosts of winter deepen the purple hue of its foliage 
 
 For hedging the following rule works quite well.
Plant your plants 20% closer than what you want the final height of your hedge to be.

Eg: For a 50cm hedge plant them 40cm apart 
For a 25 cm hedge plant them 20cm apart 
For hedges over 1 metre tall I suggest that you plant them 80cm apart as this closer planting will ensure a tighter hedge from top to bottom.
