At Districlos, we find that more and more customers are looking for plants that grow quickly while providing good opacity. Discover our selection of plants that will transform your garden into a true haven of peace in record time!
Fast-Growing Plants
Certain plants are true champions of accelerated growth. Bamboo tops the list with growth that can reach up to 1 meter per year! Its evergreen foliage makes it a prime choice for those seeking guaranteed year-round privacy.
Western arborvitae is also highly valued for its growth of 30 to 60 cm per year and its ability to form a dense, impenetrable barrier. For the most impatient, Leyland cypress can grow up to 90 cm annually under optimal conditions.
How to Accelerate the Growth of Your Privacy Hedge?
Begin by carefully preparing the soil before planting. A mixture of garden soil and compost will create a favorable environment for the rapid development of your plants.
Regular watering is crucial, particularly during the first two years following planting. Consider installing a drip irrigation system for a constant and controlled water supply. In our range of accessories, we offer various solutions to facilitate the maintenance of your plantings.
The Best Times to Plant a Hedge
The ideal period is between October and March, excluding frost. Planting in autumn allows the roots to establish during winter, thus preparing vigorous growth from spring onward.
If you opt for container plants available in our selection, you can plant them year-round by simply avoiding periods of extreme heat or intense frost. This flexibility allows you to start your hedge project whenever you wish!
Alternatives to Plant Hedges
You cannot wait for your plants to grow? Our synthetic screening solutions offer instant privacy. Reed screens, privacy screens, and trellis panels are effective alternatives that can be combined with fast-growing plants.
This mixed approach guarantees you immediate screening while allowing your natural hedge to develop gradually. It is the preferred strategy of many Districlos customers who wish to combine aesthetics and practicality.
Maintaining Fast-Growing Hedges: Essential Advice
Fast growth means regular trimming! To keep your privacy hedge healthy and prevent it from becoming invasive, plan for 2 to 3 trims per year. Light but frequent trims are preferable to drastic cuts.
Equip yourself with suitable tools such as an electric or petrol hedge trimmer to facilitate this recurring task. Our team can advise you on the equipment best suited to your specific needs and the maintenance of your hedge type.

- Chalky terrain: Photinia, Privet, Hornbeam
- Clay or damp soil: Willow, Dogwood, Viburnum
- Sandy and dry terrain: Laurustinus, Eleagnus, Cypress
