Artificial box hedging?

Hi

Does anybody know for any good websites where you can purchase artificial box hedging for privacy screening about a 1m tall by 5 metres wide?

TIA

    Why not use the real thing-for a 5m hedge you would need around 25 plants at about a fiver each, total £125? Box is fairly hardy and requires relatively little maintenance once established.
    It would take a while to reach 1m tall though, most nursery-bought box plants will be around 30cm high, though you can buy bigger at a higher cost.

    Try LONICERA NITIDA, it looks like box and grows a lot quicker.
