Most Popular Questions.

What are pot grown hedging plants?
Pot grown hedging plants are grown in containers at the nursery, allowing them to develop strong, healthy root systems. They can be planted at any time of year and tend to establish quickly in your garden.

Pot grown hedging plants offer:

  • Year-round planting flexibility
  • Higher survival rates and less transplant shock
  • Immediate impact and established root systems
  • Easier handling and planting
Pot grown hedging can be planted at any time of year, provided the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. For best results, plant during spring or autumn and ensure regular watering during dry spells.
Spacing depends on the species and the desired density. As a general rule, plant most evergreen hedging (such as Cherry Laurel, Red Robin, Privet, Griselinia) 60–100cm (2–3ft) apart. Closer spacing creates a denser hedge more quickly.
  • Dig a hole at least 1.5 times the width of the pot and the same depth as the root ball.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and gently loosen the roots if they are pot-bound.
  • Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently.
  • Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture.
Yes, regular watering is essential, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply at least twice a week in dry weather to help roots establish.
Use a good quality, well-draining garden soil mixed with organic matter or compost. For container-grown hedges, a soil-based compost such as John Innes No. 3 is recommended.
Growth rates vary by species:
  • Cherry Laurel: up to 60cm per year
  • Red Robin (Photinia): up to 50cm per year
  • Privet: up to 50–60cm per year
  • Griselinia: up to 50cm per year
  • Portuguese Laurel: up to 50cm per year
  • Water regularly, especially in dry periods
  • Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds
  • Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring
  • Prune lightly to encourage bushy growth
Some species, such as Griselinia and Portuguese Laurel, can be grown in large containers for several years. Use a large pot (at least 3 times the root ball size), water frequently, and feed regularly. However, most hedging plants will thrive best when planted in the ground.
Staking is recommended for taller plants or those in exposed sites to prevent wind rock and help roots establish.
Yes, mature pot grown plants can provide an instant screen or boundary, especially when planted closely together.
Yes, we offer fast, reliable delivery of pot grown hedging plants to all areas of the UK and Ireland, including Belfast, Derry, and Lisburn.
