Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.

Irish Ivy Wall Climbing Plants

The dark green, evergreen foliage creates a rich canvas which is great for hiding unsightly features. Irish Ivy can even be used as ground cover. Pin the new shoots down and they will take root quickly and securely. Another great alternative for training against walls is Pyracantha, or for a similar effect to Ivy but with small white flowers, try Star Jasmine, which is sometimes known Chinese Ivy .

If you're looking to use Ivy for cover in an instant, then we recommend our fantastic range of Hedera helix Ivy Screens, which are grown on steel frames to create an excellent green alternative to fencing that is also very secure.

Pruning Advice

As an evergreen climber, it can be trimmed any time. Just trim as desired (can be left to grow) to keep a neat shape. When trimming it is recommended that you wear long sleeves and gloves as the sap has been known to irritate sensitive skin. Ivy also benefits from a severe pruning in late Winter.
