Single Row
When planting a new species rich native hedge, we recommend using 3 plants per metre for a single row hedge planting them each 13inches/33cm apart.
Double Row
For a thicker double row hedge use 5 plants per metre – setting the plants 40cm apart in each row with 40cm between the 2 rows.
Extra Thick
To achieve an extra thick, dense hedge faster, use 7 plants per metre in a double row, planting them each 11inches/28cm apart in each row with 40cm between the 2 rows.
Our Species Rich native hedgerow mix plants are sold in bare root form and are available for purchase and planting when they are lying dormant from November through to April, sometimes into May when we have plants available from our cold store.
All our hedgerow mixes are sold in multiples of 25 plants.
