The Ultimate Flowering Hedge
- Create the best ever blooming hedge! Selected by our expert growers, this collection consists of flowering hedging plants picked for their performance, colour, form and benefits to wildlife.
- Each pack contains five hedging plants per square metre, enough to plant a staggered double row.Â
-
In every pack (except the 20m) you'll receive no more than five of one variety, ensuring maximum floral variety. These can include showstoppers like forsythia, red-flowering currant, blackthorn, St John's wort, guelder rose, hawthorn, dog rose, sweet cherry, spiraea, Oregon grape, crabapple, wayfaring tree, Japanese rose, eglantine rose and mock orange.Â
- Planting a mixed flowering hedge improves soil stability and air quality, providing a natural habitat for wildlife. Bees and other pollinating insects are attracted by the flowers and many bird species will feed on the fruits.
- Hardy, easy-care perennial plants providing interest throughout the year. Plant in sun (or part shade) in any well-drained soil. Water well when newly-planted. See individual plant info pages for detailed care instructions and dimensions.

Meet Cameron
Putting shrubs in the starlight (and boy do they shine…)
Cameron is mad about plants, which is lucky, really, because he’s absolutely surrounded by them here at the nursery. Having studied at the Student Plant Unit at Pershore College, Cameron went on to compete at the Grand Finals for the 2022 Horticulturist of the Year Awards. With a team of dedicated growers on hand to help, Cameron utilises our industry-leading nursery (and the lovely, fertile conditions of the Cotswolds) to grow shrubs that aren’t just good-looking, they’re good-growing too.
