Description
This mixed hedge pack is a bundle of 25 thornless, native plants that are safe to plant where young children are playing or along public footpaths. They are also good for wildlie and work on any soil, while also providing good screen from wind in exposed sites. These plants are all thorn-free and mostly non-toxic; Spindle berries aren't edible, but they taste too bitter to chew or swallow. This mix of rugged native plants is great for biodiversity, providing plenty of food for birds, small animals and butterfly caterpillars.
They can also be used for planting under existing tees and hedging to fill in gaps.
