Most hedges are easy to raise from cuttings, particularly low growing hedges.
Rapid species such as lavender, rosemary or santolina produce rooted plants within a few months and a hedge by the end of the second season. Box, the finest material for low, formal boundaries, takes longer to root but is easy. Raising a hedge from cuttings Get access to good stock plants as these will be the source of your cuttings. The mature plants of evergreens such as holly, box or cypresses, provide a mass of propagating material so you only ever need one of each kind. If clipped as regularly as hedges, the number of potential cuttings a plant produces can multiply.
