Further Information

You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed next to the products below. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section. Prices shown are the price per plant unless otherwise stated.

Pruning Advice

Lonicera Pileata should be pruned in late Winter or early in the new year before new growth occurs, whilst the plant is dormant, but be cautious of extreme cold weather and frosts.

Lonicera pileata Hedge Plants Description

This species of Lonicera tends to grow laterally rather than vertically but can be easily trained into a hedge structure for hedging approx 1m tall. Our measurements are for the width of the upper stem structure rather than height. View more low growing hedging plants.

Traditionally, Lonicera pileata isn't grown as a flowering or berrying hedge though it does have creamy white flowers in late spring and transluscent purple berries in autumn which are a good source of bird food. Trim in Summer and Autumn. Lonicera Pileata is suitable for shady sites, and most soil types including alkaline soil, but not wet sites.

View our evergreen hedging plants section for plants capable of growing in the most challenging growing conditions and see also our range of low growing hedging plants.

Pot grown plants are available all year round. Bare roots are only available from november to late April/early May.

What are root types?

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.
