This pack focuses on long and overlapping flowering periods, providing reliable nectar and pollen from early spring through to summer while still forming a traditional countryside hedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nThe combination of species avoids a short, single flowering window by blending early, mid, and later-season plants. This helps sustain pollinators over a longer period and makes the hedge particularly valuable in rural landscapes, field margins, and environmental planting schemes where biodiversity is a priority.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarieties included – equal split (16.6% each):\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHawthorn (\u003cem\u003eCrataegus monogyna\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a major nectar source in mid-spring and forms the structural backbone of the hedge. Its abundant blossom is highly attractive to bees, while its dense growth habit helps the hedge knit together naturally over time.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlackthorn (\u003cem\u003ePrunus spinosa\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e flowers very early in the season, often before leaves appear, making it one of the most important early food sources for bees emerging from winter. It also contributes density and reinforcement at the base of the hedge.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDog Rose (\u003cem\u003eRosa canina\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e produces open, accessible flowers that are ideal for a wide range of pollinators. Its scrambling habit allows it to weave through the hedge, increasing flower density and extending nectar availability later into the season.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuelder Rose (\u003cem\u003eViburnum opulus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e extends the flowering period into late spring and early summer. Its flat flower heads are easily accessed by bees, helping to bridge the gap between early and later-flowering species within the mix.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEuropean Spindle (\u003cem\u003eEuonymus europaeus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e adds diversity and resilience to the hedge. Although more subtle in flower, it contributes to the overall pollinator value and strengthens the traditional mixed-hedge structure expected in countryside planting.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrange Dogwood (\u003cem\u003eCornus sanguinea\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e supports bees during late spring and early summer and helps fill space within the hedge. Its vigorous, regenerative growth encourages a full, layered structure while adding seasonal interest.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountryside Stewardship BN7 \u0026amp; BN11\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nAll species within this pack meet the published planting specification for \u003cstrong\u003eCountryside Stewardship BN7 (Gapping-up)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBN11 (New Hedging)\u003c\/strong\u003e. When planted as a mixed native hedge using appropriate spacing and protection, this combination aligns with the traditional hedgerow character expected by inspectors.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrant eligibility applies specifically to the \u003cstrong\u003e30–50cm\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e50–70cm\u003c\/strong\u003e bare-root options\u003c\/strong\u003e.
