Pruning Advice
Once established, Yellow Potentilla are compact plants requiring very little by way of care or maintenance other than a simple trim to keep to the desired shape and height, growing to a maximum of 1.5m but easy to keep under 1m as a traditionally low growing hedge.
It is important to prune at the right time, so as not to remove new growing shoots. Ideally, prune in the autumn once flowering has occurred, cutting out all the old branches at ground level. Remove shoots that have flowered to within 1.5-2.5cm (¾-1in) of the previous year's growth. To encourage optimal growth and flowering for the following year, the plant will benefit from an annual mulch or fertiliser trowelled into the soil.

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.
