Native hedging using British hedge plants

Native hedging is made up of traditional British hedge plants that have grown naturally in the UK landscape for centuries. Often planted as mixed species hedges, native hedges are valued for their natural appearance, durability and exceptional wildlife benefits.

What is native hedging?

Native hedging typically includes a mix of species such as hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, dogwood, spindle and field maple. These plants grow together to form a resilient hedge that supports birds, insects and mammals while providing long-term structure.

Why choose native hedging?

  • Excellent for wildlife and biodiversity
  • Traditional countryside appearance
  • Hardy and well suited to UK conditions
  • Long-lasting boundary planting

Bare root native hedging explained

Most native hedging is supplied bare root during the dormant season, usually from late autumn through to early spring. Bare root plants establish reliably when planted in season and offer excellent value for larger hedge projects.

Best uses for native hedging

  • Rural and countryside boundaries
  • Wildlife and conservation planting
  • Natural garden hedges
  • Farm and field boundaries

Growth rate and maintenance

Native hedging plants establish steadily and respond well to trimming once settled. Mixed native hedges are typically clipped once per year, allowing flowering and berry production to support wildlife.

Planting tip – mixed species hedges

Planting a mix of native species creates a stronger, more resilient hedge than a single variety and helps ensure year-round interest and habitat value.

Native hedging compared to other hedge types

Native hedges are chosen for wildlife and tradition rather than year-round screening. For non-native or evergreen options, browse our main Hedging Plants collection.
