Description
Fagus syl. Purpurea Pallet (9 Troughs)
Purple Beech (Fagus syl. Purpurea) is an exceptional hedge plant, distinguished by its rich, deep purple foliage that transforms into a warm, coppery colour during the autumn and winter months.
Often confused with Copper Beech, Purple Beech is easily recognised by its intense leaf colour, which persists through the winter, offering excellent screening and visual interest until new growth appears in spring. This new growth emerges as a soft pale red, adding another layer of seasonal beauty.
Purple Beech is best suited to light to medium soils and performs well in well-drained locations, although it should be kept out of heavy clay or consistently wet areas. In shaded conditions, the foliage may take on a more muted tone, but it still provides a beautiful and reliable hedge option.
Regular trimming helps maintain its shape and promotes dense growth, making it a perfect choice for formal garden settings. This pallet of 9 troughs is ideal for larger projects where uniformity and instant impact are desired. Whether used in residential or commercial landscapes, Purple Beech adds both beauty and functionality, making it a valuable addition to any garden design.
The Royal Horticultural Society recognised its exceptional qualities with an Award of Garden Merit in 1984.
A Fagus syl. Purpurea pallet includes fertiliser and irrigation pack.
