- Devil's hedge is named for the long thorns which form on the many branches and twigs of the plant, which forms a linear bush approximately one meter in height, one meter in width, and up to 12 meters in length. As the plant grows it curiously spreads out in a linear fashion forming a natural fence. The plant bears 5 part compound leaves with serrated margins, and a nearly circular shape, During the midsummer the plant bears clusters of two centimetre disc shaped flowers with two dozen petals, forming a ring of blue around an orange center. These flowers turn into clusters of teardrop shaped teal berries.
