Product Description
25 x bare root 1yr old plant approx. 25-40cm tall
Lonicera nitida is a type of evergreen bush honeysuckle that is ideally suited to hedges. It is fast-growing, with tiny mid-green leaves that create a dense hedge. It can be clipped regularly into topiary or a formal hedge. It is a good alternative to Box if you are looking for something a little faster-growing. Lonicera is not fussy about growing conditions, and will tolerate exposed conditions and partial shade well.
Recommended planting distance: 1ft (30cm) apart in single rows,
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Suitable for: Single species hedge
Features: Easy to trim and shape, fast-growing, dense, tolerant
Bare root plants: These plants can be planted anytime between November and March. We keep our bare root hedging in tubs of damp compost at the nursery. If you are not planting your plants immediately then keep the roots damp (preferably in compost) and out the sun until you are ready to plant.
