Description

The 4 Seasons Eco Hedge Kit is a selection of 6 different bare-root shrubs, carefully chosen to create a colourful, flowering, lively hedge all year round. Perfect for a garden that embraces nature, this kit combines hardy and easy-to-grow species. Each bush brings its own special touch: flowers, colourful foliage, decorative wood, or attractive small fruits. To be planted in autumn in well-prepared soil. One kit covers 5 to 6 linear metres depending on the planting density.

The kit includes:

1 x Canadian Serviceberry (Amelanchier lamarckii), adult height: 3 to 4 m. This majestic bush blooms with white flowers in spring and produces small blue-black fruits in autumn, highly appreciated by birds. Its deciduous foliage turns reddish-orange in the fall.

1 x Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), adult height: 2 to 3 m. This thorny bush is covered with white flowers from March onwards. It then produces small black fruits that feed the local wildlife.

1 x Yellow-twig Dogwood (Cornus stolonifera), adult height: 2 to 2.5 m. Recognisable by its bright yellow wood that brightens up the garden in winter, this deciduous bush is hardy and thrives in cool, moist soils.

1 x European Spindle (Euonymus europaeus), adult height: 2 to 3 m. This elegant bush offers deciduous foliage that turns pink and red in autumn. Its bright pink fruits, with orange seeds, create a beautiful visual effect and are highly decorative, but toxic to humans.

1 x Forsythia (Forsythia intermedia), adult height: 2 to 3 m. A very floriferous bush covered with bright yellow flowers at the beginning of spring, as soon as the nice weather returns. Its flowering attracts pollinators.

1 x Flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum), adult height: 1.5 to 2 m. Appreciated for its bright pink flowers in clusters in spring and its aromatic foliage, this bush attracts bees and adds colour to the hedge early in the season.

Plant these bushes in autumn or early winter, in full sun or partial shade, mixing them and spacing them about 1 metre apart. They adapt to any good, well-prepared garden soil enriched with leaf compost. Mixed hedges require little or no pruning, so you can enjoy the flowers and fruits.

Practical tips:
Fully enjoy this hedge by planting it sheltered from strong winds and adding some spring bulbs at its base to create a carpet of colour early in the season. This kit guarantees you a lively hedge that animates your garden all year round, while promoting biodiversity!

Planting and care

Plant this Eco 4 Seasons Hedge Kit in full sun or partial shade, in well-prepared soil, enriched with leaf mold, moist but well-drained. Dig planting holes 30-40 cm in all directions, loosening the bottom and walls well with a fork or a pickaxe. Maintain a planting distance of 80 cm to 1 m between each young plant. These easy-to-grow, undemanding bushes only require mulching in summer in dry climates to maintain some moisture, at least during the first summers following planting. Water them in the first years in case of pronounced drought, abundantly (15-20 litres of water each time) but spaced out.
