Buy Bare Root Hedging Plants Online – UK & Ireland Delivery

Bare root hedging plants are field grown and sent out without soil around their roots. We lift them while they are dormant, so they are lighter to post and easier to plant than pot grown or root balled hedging, and they cost less per plant.

Plant them during the bare-root season, while the plants are dormant. That runs from September to March.

Bare root suits longer runs and new hedges that you are happy to let fill in over a season or two. For instant height, look at our pot grown or root balled hedging instead.

For expert planting advice, see the RHS guide to hedging plants.
