Bring privacy to your garden with these exceptional hedgerows, which produce tasty sloes and dainty flowers, first blooming from early spring.
Recommended by the RHS as ‘Plants for Pollinators’, the bushy foliage of oval-shaped leaves and thorned branches form shelter for birds. Inky black sloes grow in autumn, which when left by birds can be picked in November and turned into sweet and fruity gin.
Boasting an impressive growth rate of 40-60cm per year, these hardy hedges perform well when planted in a variety of soil types and sunny or part-shaded spots. Avoid waterlogged locations and full shade.
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 10 bare root hedges, 90-120cm tall, ready for planting.
