Description
This blockbuster collection of native hedges is 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. This collection produces luscious green-leaved displays during spring and summer, before developing into 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, bushy nature of the foliage acts as remarkable nesting spaces for birds, while any berries or fruits that emerge will feed small mammals. 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-loped shape grow in abundance on Field Maple hedges, which transform to golden yellow in autumn. Hazel ‘Corylus avellana’ x 5 – Bushy hedges with big, green, rounded leaves with serrated edges and pointed tips, turning orange-gold in autumn. Hawthorn ‘Crataegus monogyna’ x 25 – Hardy hedges with green leaves and dainty white, fragrant flowers in spring. In autumn, the flowers develop into dark red berries, loved by birds. Bird Cherry ‘Prunus padus’ x 5 – Hardy and reliable, with flurries of fragrant white flowers on short spikes from spring with an almond-like perfume. Moving into autumn, the flowers turn into dark fruits along red stems. Blackthorn ‘Prunus spinosa’ x 5 – A producer of delicious sloe fruits. Spring brings small white flowers, even before the oval-shaped green leaves have chance to emerge. Dog Rose ‘Rosa canina’ x 5 – Dog Rose hedges grow with rich green leaves and hooked thorns during spring and summer.
