Hedging Plant Collections

Plant a mixed hedge with confidence using a ready-curated collection, where compatible species are selected, sized and priced as a practical unit. The seven collections here cover the most common hedging goals including native planting for ecological value, wildlife-focused mixes with berries and nesting cover, fast-growing varieties for quick establishment, and more. Native and wildlife collections use UK native species that deliver proven ecological benefit. Each collection page lists the species included, quantities and coverage. Browse all options below, or view individual hedging varieties to build your own selection. Hedging essentials including compost, mycorrhizal fungi and trimmers are available separately.

How to choose a hedging collection

Our wildlife gardening guide offers further reading on choosing species that benefit birds, pollinators and other fauna. The FAQs below cover what each collection contains, which packs offer the best value, which delivers the most for wildlife and whether collections work in smaller gardens.

What is included in a hedging collection?

Each hedging collection contains a curated mix of compatible plants selected around a specific planting goal, such as wildlife value, fast screening or seasonal flower colour. The species, quantities and approximate coverage for each collection are listed on the individual product page.

Are hedging collections good value?

Yes, hedging collections are good value, often proving to be better value than buying the equivalent individual plants. They also save the time otherwise spent researching compatible species combinations. For longer hedge runs, the saving is more significant.

Which hedging collection is best for wildlife?

The best hedging collections for wildlife are the Wildlife Mixed Hedging and Native Hedging Collection. Both use UK native species including Hawthorn, Blackthorn and Field Maple, which provide berries, nesting cover and insect habitat for birds, hedgehogs and pollinators across the seasons.

Can I plant a hedging collection in a small garden?

Yes, you can plant a hedging collection in a small garden. Native and mixed collections work well in smaller spaces, particularly when managed at moderate height with annual trimming. Check the mature height and spread on each product page and choose a collection suited to the space available.

What is the difference between the Native and Wildlife Mixed collections?

The Native Hedging Collection focuses on traditional UK native species for maximum ecological value and authenticity. The Wildlife Mixed Hedging collection is curated specifically for birds, pollinators and hedgehogs, and may include a broader mix of flowering and berrying varieties beyond strict native species definitions.

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."
