Description
The Eco Flowering Hedge Kit is an economical solution for creating a decorative and varied hedge in your garden. This kit brings together six hardy and easy shrubs that follow one another to offer flowering from early spring to summer, bringing colour and diversity to the garden. They will create a natural and welcoming hedge for biodiversity, even if you don't have a big budget. Plant these shrubs in autumn to ensure quick growth come spring. This bare root shrub kit will provide between 3 and 4 metres of hedge.
The kit includes:
1 x Forsythia intermedia: a deciduous shrub with light green foliage, announcing spring with a bright yellow flowering in March. Reaching 2.5 metres in height, it is perfect for brightening up the hedge.
1 x Ribes sanguineum - Flowering Currant: a deciduous shrub, offering clusters of pink flowers in April-May and decorative berries. Standing 1.5 to 2 metres tall, its flowering attracts pollinators.
1 x Philadelphus coronarius - Mock Orange: its fragrant white flowers bloom in May-June. Standing 2 to 3 metres tall, it adds volume and a romantic touch to the hedge.
1 x Buddleja Royal Red - Butterfly Bush: a deciduous shrub 2.5 to 3 metres high, its purple spikes renew throughout the summer, covered with butterflies.
1 x Syringa vulgaris - common Lilac: with its scented purple flower clusters in May, this 2 to 3 metre high lilac, brings a colourful and classic touch to the hedge.
1 x Amelanchier lamarckii: White flowering in April followed by colourful berries. Red deciduous foliage in autumn. This shrub reaches a height of 3 metres.
The Eco Flowering Hedge Kit should be planted in autumn or winter for guaranteed growth in spring. Plant each shrub 1 to 1.5 metres apart in well-worked soil, enriched with compost, in a sunny or semi-shaded position to promote good flowering. Place the larger shrubs like the Buddleia and the Amelanchier in the background to add volume, and position the smaller ones such as the Forsythia and the Flowering Currant in the front to structure the hedge. Plan for about three shrubs per square metre for a dense and flowery hedge that will delight the gardener while providing a refuge for insects and birds.
To keep a boundary hedge within 2 metres in height, prune the plants every year: prune the Buddleia at the end of winter, the Lilac after flowering, and the Forsythia after its spring flowering.

Planting and care
Plant this hedge collection in full sun or partial shade, in well-prepared, ordinary soil, enriched with leaf mold, moist but well-drained. Dig planting holes 30-40 cm in all directions, thoroughly loosening the bottom and walls with a fork or pickaxe. Maintain a planting distance of 1 m to 1.50 m between each bush. These easy to grow and low-maintenance bushes require only mulching in summer in dry climates to maintain some moisture, at least during the first summers following planting. Water them abundantly during the first years in case of significant drought (15-20 litres of water each time) but spaced out.
You can prune the plants every year if necessary: prune the Buddleia at the end of winter, the Lilac after flowering, and the Forsythia after its spring flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
