Privacy native hedgerow mix – A native hedgerow mix carefully selected to provide as much privacy as possible without using more ‘suburban’ hedging plants. Our privacy mix relies on leaf retaining Beech and Hornbeam together with Quickthorn to ‘knit’ the hedge together. It is one of our most popular mixes with flowers, fruits, berries and autumn colours on a stock proof hedge, that has a good level of winter leaf retention – this native hedge mix has the lot!
Other evergreen native hedge plants could be ordered separately and interspersed with this mix to give extra coverage in winter, for example Green Holly and Gorse. English Yew could also be included if the hedge is well away from grazing animals.
Our privacy native hedgerow mix can be maintained at any height from 120cm up to several metres, they are best trimmed once a year at any time from August onwards, ideally in winter. You may wish to leave some of the persistent berries/fruits on the hedge for the birds if you prefer.
Full details of the species included in our Privacy Hedge mix may be found at the bottom of the page (we don’t label the individual species), simply plant them in a randomized mixture for a natural look that will quickly become a haven for wildlife. The prices shown for our mixed native hedging is per plant and we sell them in multiples of 25.
To ensure you get fresh stock, batches of Mixed Native Hedging plants are added regularly to our website on a ‘little and often’ basis. If you want to order more plants than we have in stock, we will certainly have them – please contact us or call our sales team on 01580 765600 to place your order.
