Single Row
When planting a new Privacy Mix native hedge, we recommend using 3 plants per metre for a single row hedge. Plant them each 13inches/33cm apart.
Double Row
For a thicker double row hedge use 5 plants per metre placing them 40cm apart in each row with 40cm between the 2 rows.
Extra Thick
For an extra thick and dense hedge that may be achieved more quickly, use 7 plants per metre in a double row placing them 11inches/28cm apart in each row, with 40cm between the 2 rows.
Privacy native hedgerow mix plants are supplied when dormant from November until April, alternatively you might like to consider our potted plants that may be planted at any time of year. All our hedgerow mixes are sold in multiples of 25 plants.
