Economical Low Hedge Collection
Economical Low Hedge Collection
Berberis, Viburnum, Cornus
First purchase of the "low hedge eco kit" as a first trial. Satisfied. Only downside, the place where I went to pick up my package... was disappointing. 1. - whimsical opening hours 2. - the package remained two days "on its side" while it was clearly indicated that it should be placed flat. For the next order, I will proceed differently, either directly at home or in a more respectful office of the usual rules.

Description
We offer you a collection of 3 varieties of modest stature bushes, not exceeding 2 m in height, interesting for their flowering, foliage or coloured wood. Low-maintenance and requiring little care, they are perfect for easily creating a colourful and flowering decorative low hedge, suitable for a good part of the year, well adapted to small gardens.
The kit consists of:
-
1 x Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea': a bush with deep purple foliage, reaching 1.5 m in height. It adds a colourful touch and contrasts beautifully with the other plants in the hedge. Its foliage can persist through winter if it is not too cold.
-
1 x Viburnum tinus: an evergreen bush of 2 m in height (sometimes 3 m if conditions are very favourable). Its white flowers appear as early as winter, and it retains its foliage throughout the year. It can be pruned after flowering.
-
1 x Cornus sanguinea 'Winter Beauty': a bush of 1.5 m in height, which stands out in winter with its brightly coloured orange-red stems. Naked in winter, they bring light and contrast to the hedge during the cold season.
Plant these bushes in autumn or spring, in full light or partial shade, mixing and spacing them 80 cm to 1 m apart. Set them in ordinary, well-drained and well-prepared soil, improved with leaf compost. Varied and mixed hedges require little or no pruning, allowing you to enjoy the flowers and fruits. This one, which remains quite low, only needs minimal maintenance, consisting of light pruning at the end of winter and late summer.
You can use these bushes to create a boundary hedge, as its height is very easy to keep below 2 m.

Planting and care
Plant this collection in the sun or partial shade, in ordinary but well-prepared soil, enriched with leaf compost, that is moist but well-drained. Dig planting holes of 30-40 cm (12-16in) in all directions, thoroughly loosening the bottom and walls with a fork or pickaxe. Maintain a planting distance of 80 cm (32in) to 1 m (3ft) between each bush. Easy to grow and not very demanding, these shrubs only require mulching in summer in dry climates to maintain some moisture, at least during the first summers after planting. Water them abundantly in the first few years in a pronounced drought (15-20 litres of water each time), but keep waterings spaced out. You can prune the longest branches to help your shrubs branch out.

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).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
