About Native Mix
A native deciduous mix with season-long appeal.
The sheer diversity of this native mix both in its array of seasonal interest and the wildlife it supports, make this undemanding hedge worthy of inclusion in most planting schemes.
Appearance
The 8 species have been specifically selected to provide a hedge mix with real appeal. From nectar-rich spring blossom to a wide variety of leaf colour change as summer moves into autumn - with blue, black and red berries abundant, providing a winter-long food source for wildlife.
Placement
This native mix grows well in virtually any well-drained soil and is tough enough to withstand both exposed inland and coastal sites in full sun or partial shade.
Uses
Whether clipped to a formal shape or left wild for a more rustic feel, it can significantly help to reduce both dust and noise pollution. Its vicious thorns serve well to those seeking a security barrier, whilst its density acts as an ideal windbreak and privacy screen.
