Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Mature height (cm)

The mature height of a plant is the height the plant reaches when it is mature. It is also called the maximum height. This height is given in centimetres and refers to the height of the visible part of the plant above the ground. In other words, the trunk/stem, branches and leaves. The root ball that is (normally) below the ground is excluded from this measurement. Location and soil type also affect mature plant height.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Growth habit
Growth habit

Growth habit is the way in which the plant grows and what general shape the plant has. Roughly speaking, we can divide our plants into the following categories:

  • Bushy spreading growth habit - in this growth habit, the plant grows bushy in both height and width.
  • Climbing growth habit - as the name suggests, a climbing plant. Suitable for positioning against a wall, fence or pergola.
  • Creeping wide-spreading growth habit - relatively low-growing and ground-covering plants that spread considerably, especially in width.
  • Upright growth habit - these plants grow mostly straight up and with virtually no overhang.
  • Upright to bushy growth habit - these plants tend to grow straight up and, especially as they grow taller, may overhang slightly.
  • Clump-forming and upright growth habit - these plants form a single clump from which stems, leaves and flowers grow. The taller the plant, the more the leaves and stems may overhang.
  • Clump-forming growth habit - these plants form a single clump and remain somewhat more compact in shape
  • Sod-forming growth habit - these plants form a dense carpet. Stems and leaves grow very closely together. You could compare this to the growth habit of a lawn.

Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

    What are self-clinging climbers?

    Self-clinging climbers are plants that can grow vertically without needing extra support like trellises. These plants have special roots or tendrils that help them attach to surfaces such as walls or fences. Popular types include Hedera, Parthenocissus, and Hydrangea. These climbers are perfect for covering bare walls, creating a lush green look in the garden. Self-clinging climbers are also known as climbing plants without support or natural wall-covering climbers. They are sometimes referred to as self-adhesive climbers or self-supporting climbing plants. These plants are ideal for those who want to add greenery to their garden without the hassle of installing support structures. In the garden, self-clinging climbers are used to cover walls, fences, and other vertical surfaces. They are excellent for creating privacy and adding a natural touch to any outdoor space.

    Key traits of climbing plants that need no support

    Self-clinging climbers, also known as self-adhesive wall plants or wall-hugging climbing plants, are unique in their growth habits. These plants use adhesive roots to attach themselves to surfaces, making them ideal for walls without the need for additional support. They spread widely, covering large areas with ease, and are perfect for creating lush, green walls. The development of self-clinging climbers begins with their roots establishing a firm grip on surfaces. As they grow, they extend upwards and outwards, reaching their full potential over several years. These climbers are perennial, meaning they return year after year, providing a long-lasting solution for bare walls. Self-clinging climbers typically bloom in the warmer months, with flowering times varying depending on the species and local climate. Factors such as temperature, soil preparation, and care can influence their blooming period. In general, they thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering and feeding. The flowers of self-clinging climbers come in various colours, depending on the type and cultivar. Soil quality, light exposure, and climate can affect the vibrancy of their blooms. Proper care ensures a stunning display of colours, enhancing the visual appeal of any garden. While not all self-clinging climbers are known for their fragrance, some varieties do offer a pleasant scent. The intensity of the aroma can depend on the plant's age, health, and environmental conditions. These climbers can add a sensory dimension to gardens, attracting pollinators and contributing to biodiversity. Mature self-clinging climbers can reach impressive heights, often covering entire walls. Their height and spread depend on factors like location, care, and the specific type of plant. These climbers are excellent for creating layered garden designs and can be combined with other plants for a diverse landscape.

    Self-clinging climbers are unique plants that attach themselves to surfaces without needing extra support. Their leaves come in various shapes, from heart-shaped to lobed, and can be green, variegated, or even reddish. The texture of the leaves can be smooth or slightly rough, depending on the species. These climbers often retain their leaves in winter, but some may shed them, influenced by the plant type and climate conditions.

    When it comes to winter hardiness, self-clinging climbers vary. Some can withstand cold temperatures, while others are more sensitive to frost. Factors like the duration of frost, wind exposure, and soil conditions play a role in their survival. Choosing the right type for the local climate is crucial.

    Many self-clinging climbers are evergreen, keeping their leaves year-round. However, some may lose their foliage annually, similar to most perennials. This depends on the species, climate, and location in the garden.

    These climbers are generally heat and drought-tolerant. Their origin, leaf structure, and root system contribute to their resilience. A waxy coating or fine hairs on the leaves can help reduce water loss, while deep roots access moisture from the soil.

    Self-clinging climbers are usually non-toxic, making them safe for gardens with children and pets. Normal garden use poses no danger, but it's always wise to monitor interactions with plants.

    These climbers support biodiversity by providing food and shelter for insects and birds. They mimic natural habitats, promoting a balanced ecosystem and enhancing garden resistance to pests. Their long-lasting blooms and foliage offer year-round interest and ecological benefits.

    Best walls and structures for natural climbing

    Self-clinging climbers are perfect for adding greenery to walls and structures without needing extra support. These climbing plants without support can be combined with various plant types to create a stunning garden display. For example, mix self-clinging climbing plants with ferns and hostas for a lush, layered look. The contrast between the vertical growth of self-clinging climbers and the horizontal spread of ferns creates a dynamic visual effect. Another beautiful combination is pairing self-adhesive climbers with ornamental grasses. The soft, flowing movement of grasses complements the sturdy, upright nature of self-clinging wall growers. This mix adds texture and interest to any garden space. These combinations work well because self-clinging climbers provide height and structure, while the other plants add depth and variety. Climbing plants without support are ideal for covering bare walls, creating a natural wall-covering climber effect. They are also excellent for those looking for climbers without trellis needed, as they attach themselves with adhesive roots. Choosing the best self-clinging plants for walls ensures a vibrant and low-maintenance garden. These independent climbers thrive on their own, making them a great choice for any garden enthusiast.

    Soil and moisture for optimal wall grip

    Self-clinging climbers, also known as self-adhesive wall plants or wall-hugging climbing plants, thrive in various light conditions. They prefer partial shade but can adapt to full sun or full shade, depending on the specific type. Factors like the direction the wall faces and nearby structures can influence their light needs. These climbers are generally wind-resistant, but in very exposed areas, providing a windbreak can help protect them. Planting near a fence or using a temporary screen can reduce wind impact. The ideal soil for self-clinging climbers is well-drained and rich in organic matter. A loamy soil type is perfect, but they can adapt to clay or sandy soils with proper amendments. Regular fertilisation supports their growth, ensuring they cling well to surfaces. Moisture is crucial for self-climbing plants. They need consistent moisture, especially in sunny or windy spots, as these conditions can dry the soil quickly. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool. Self-clinging climbers prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH level. Soil pH affects nutrient availability, so testing and adjusting the pH can enhance growth. These independent climbers are perfect for covering bare walls without support, making them a versatile choice for any garden.

    How and when to plant self-climbing varieties

    Self-clinging climbers, also known as climbing plants without support, are best planted in spring or autumn. These natural wall-covering climbers can be planted year-round if they come in pots, except during frost. For those with roots or clumps, spring and autumn are ideal. The planting distance for self-clinging climbers depends on the plant type, initial size, and growth rate. Typically, the number of plants per metre is specified on the plant's product page. Proper soil preparation is crucial for self-clinging climbing plants. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with compost. When planting, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. Regular watering is essential, especially in the first few weeks, to help the self-clinging climbers establish. These self-adhesive climbers are perfect for covering bare walls and require minimal support, making them ideal for creating a lush, green garden wall.

    Maintenance of Self Climbing Plants

    Self-clinging climbers, also known as self-adhesive wall plants or wall-hugging climbing plants, are perfect for covering bare walls. These self-supporting climbing plants require minimal maintenance but benefit from regular care.

    • Watering: Self-clinging climbers need regular watering, especially during dry spells. Check the soil moisture by touching it; if it feels dry, water the plant thoroughly.
    • Pruning: Prune self-clinging climbers in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Use sharp pruning shears to remove dead or overgrown branches.
    • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Use a slow-release fertiliser and follow the recommended dosage on the package.
    • Winter Protection: In colder regions, protect the roots with a layer of mulch to prevent frost damage.
    • Transplanting: If necessary, transplant self-clinging climbers in early spring. Water the plant well after moving to help it settle in its new location.
