Native Mix Instant Hedge
Native Mix Instant Hedge contains plants that are all native to the UK and as such emulate traditional country hedgerows found throughout Britain.
Our Practical Native Mix generally contains roughly equal quantities of the following species: Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Hornbeam, Hazel and Common Privet, and has been used in award-winning Show Gardens at RHS Flower Shows.
Mixed Native hedges create a natural look and contain a variety of colours and textures which provide a rich living collage for excellent seasonal interest from the early spring blossoms to fruits and berries in the autumn. All kinds of wildlife will be attracted by the food and shelter opportunities.
Native hedging, by its very nature will thrive on most soil types and can be planted in all but the deepest of shade. It will tend to grow quite quickly at some 20 – 40 cm per year and will require pruning once a year, ideally in July; it can be left un-pruned, when it will prove even more wildlife friendly.
This Practical Instant Hedge™ is available at 1/1.2m, 1.5/1.8m and 1.8/2m high.
