The Gorse hedge, also known by its Latin name of Ulex europaeus, is a pleasant native plant that showcases a long, prickly nature, and lovely fragrant, yellow flowers.
We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.
There is many reasons to buy the Gorse hedge. It is a native, evergreen plant, that‰ۡó»s intruder deterrent due to it being very prickly, and has an exceedingly long flowering season from early Spring until the middle of Summer. The flowers have pea-like features, due to the species having originated from the legume family. They have a yellow colour, are very fragrant, and welcome the bees due to providing a long season of nectar. The Gorse is perfect for creating the ideal aromatic garden.
The Ulex europaeus is not a past-growing plant, sitting at a growth rate of 15-30cm per year. That being said, however, it can grow up to a height of 2.5m- and this is recommended if you are looking for something intruder proof.
The Gorse is also very popular for its ability to adapt to many soils and conditions. It can tolerate exposed coastal and dry sites, as well as sandy or rocky soils. However, we do recommend planting in a well-drained soil with the nitrogen-fixing capacity, to get the very best out of your Gorse.
As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
You will need to prune your Gorse hedge straight after flowering season (where flowering is on last year‰ۡó»s growth), or in early-mid spring if the flowering has taken place on current year‰ۡó»s growth.

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 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.
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.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
