Description

A blockbuster collection of native hedges, perfect for producing an impressive hedging display with ease.

Hedges are a simple, yet impactful, way of boosting the privacy of your garden, while creating a great screen against unwanted incoming noise and wind. Thankfully, many hedge varieties thrive in our gardens with little maintenance needed through the year.

This collection produces luscious green-leaved displays during spring and summer, before developing autumnal colours as the year progresses. Flowers, catkins, and even fruit and berries can be seen growing on certain hedges.

A welcome boost to your garden’s wildlife, the full and bushy foliage acts as remarkable nesting spaces for birds, while any berries or fruits that emerge will feed small mammals.

Don’t forget to use one of our handy bamboo cane and spiral guard sets when planting a bare root hedge. The cane will keep the bare root upright as it grows, while the spiral guard will protect the base of the plant from wildlife to achieve as thick a hedge as possible.

Supplied as 50 bare root hedging plants, 90-120cm tall, including the following:

  • Field Maple 'Acer campestre' x 5 - Large, textured green leaves in a five-lobed shape grow in abundance on Field Maple hedges, which transform to golden yellow in autumn. Springtime brings pollen-rich blossom in a yellow-green shade, while winged fruits form in autumn. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
  • Hornbeam 'Carpinus betulus' x 5 - Fresh green leaves erupt in spring with deeply crinkled veins and ribbed edges, before turning golden yellow in autumn and remaining on the plant well into winter. Green catkins emerge at the tail end of spring, before becoming autumnal winged fruits. Very hardy and resilient. Hornbeam hedges grow at a rate of 20-40cm per year.
  • Hazel 'Corylus avellana' x 5 - Bushy hedges with big, green, rounded leaves with serrated edges and pointed tips, turning orange-gold in autumn. Fluffy yellow catkins dangle on the bare twigs of early spring, along with tiny, easily missed, yellow flowers. If some catkins and flowers are saved from trimming, green hazelnuts can grow in autumn to feed the squirrels.
  • Hawthorn 'Crataegus monogyna' x 15 - Hardy hedges with green leaves, and dainty white fragrant flowers in spring. In autumn, the flowers develop into dark red berries, which are loved by birds. Thorny branches and dense natured to form a barrier for the garden, as well as a habitat for more than 100 types of insects. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
  • Blackthorn 'Prunus spinosa' x 15 - A producer of delicious sloe fruits. Spring brings small white flowers, even before the oval-shaped green leaves have chance to emerge. Autumnal black fruits, just like damsons, can be picked when ripe in November and turned into sweet, fruity gin. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
  • Dog Rose 'Rosa canina' x 5 - Dog Rose hedges grow with rich green leaves and hooked thorns during spring and summer. Pale pink to white flowers emerge in summer, coating the plant with colour and bringing a floral aroma to the air. The flowers turn to red rose hips in autumn, which are delicious to birds. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
Top Tips
For best performance, plant bare root hedges in the winter.
Care Information

On Arrival:

  • When your bare root hedges arrive, be sure to place them upright in a bucket of clean water as soon as possible, and leave to soak for a minimum of two hours.
  • Only remove the plants from the water when you go to plant them, to ensure they are sufficiently wet when planting and reducing the risk of them drying out.
  • If you are not ready to immediately plant your bare roots when they arrive, they can be stored in a sheltered space, such as a shed, for up to a week. Just be sure to open the package they arrive in and keep the roots moist.

Planting:

  • Where possible, plant in well-drained, good-quality soil in a sunny or partially shaded space in the garden for best performance.
  • Trim the roots slightly before planting, as this will encourage healthier growth.
  • Dig a trenched hole in the ground in the shape of a ‘V’, make sure this is deep enough for the bare root to sit comfortably, with the ‘tide mark’ of the root level with the ground. This marks the level where the bare root was previously planted before lifting for delivery.
  • Ensure the roots are completely covered in soil, then firm the soil around, as water will gather in any remaining air pockets and potentially damage the roots when it freezes.
  • Water immediately after planting, then again whenever there are three or more days of continuous dry weather.
  • Where the weather is hot, daily watering may be needed throughout the first year of growth.
  • For an impressive display when planting multiple hedges, place five per metre. For a thicker hedge, plant seven per metre.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
