Flower Power Hedging is a native hedgerow mix selected for maximum seasonal blossom and visual impact. Designed to create a striking countryside boundary, this pack combines traditional hedgerow species that flower at different points through spring and early summer, delivering a hedge that looks alive with colour and movement.

Unlike pollinator-only or structural hedge mixes, Flower Power focuses on showy, visible flowering while still maintaining a natural hedgerow character. All species included are native or long-established in the UK and are commonly found in traditional countryside hedges, making this pack suitable for both visual enhancement and environmental planting. The mix creates a layered hedge with a strong flowering sequence, starting early in spring and continuing into early summer. It is well suited to rural boundaries, estates, wildlife corridors, and landscape planting where visual appeal is a priority alongside biodiversity. Varieties included – equal split (16.6% each): Elder (Sambucus nigra) Produces large, creamy-white flower heads in early summer that are highly visible and fragrant. Elder also helps bulk out the hedge quickly in its early years, supporting the development of a full, flowering boundary. Orange Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) Contributes delicate white flowers in late spring and helps fill space within the hedge. Its strong regenerative growth responds well to pruning, maintaining density and structure while complementing other flowering species. Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) Offers one of the most striking blossom displays in the mix, with pink-tinged buds opening to white flowers in spring. As a traditional hedgerow tree, it adds height variation and strong seasonal interest without appearing ornamental. Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) Produces rounded white flower heads in late spring, adding softness and contrast to the hedge. Its bushy habit helps build volume while extending the flowering window. Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) Forms the backbone of the hedge and delivers masses of white blossom in late spring. Its dense flowering habit creates the classic “may blossom” effect associated with traditional countryside hedges. Bird Cherry (Prunus padus) Adds dramatic racemes of white flowers that hang along the branches in spring. Used as a hedgerow tree within the mix, it increases visual impact and height diversity while remaining countryside appropriate. Countryside Stewardship BN7 & BN11 All species within this pack meet the published planting specification for Countryside Stewardship BN7 (Gapping-up) and BN11 (New Hedging). When planted as a mixed native hedge using appropriate spacing and protection, this combination aligns with traditional countryside hedgerow character expected under grant schemes. Grant eligibility applies specifically to the 30–50cm and 50–70cm bare-root options. Larger sizes, pot-grown plants, or alternative root formats fall outside standard grant specifications and should be treated as non-grant planting. This pack is ideal for land managers, estates, and gardeners looking to establish a visually impressive native hedge that delivers seasonal blossom while remaining compliant with countryside planting schemes.

Choose a position in full sun or partial shade. Keep the soil moist while allowing excess water to drain freely.

On arrival, carefully remove outer packaging and check the plants against your order. Handle plants by their pot or root ball where possible, rather than pulling on stems or branches.
