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.

Genus
Genus

The genus is a taxonomic classification that includes several closely related species. Genus is a rank that is above the 'species' rank. The spelling of the genus name always includes one scientific name beginning with a capital letter. A genus cannot be ordered as a product; a species or variety can be ordered.

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 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.

Winter hardiness

A winter hardiness zone, also known as a USDA zone, is a classification system used to categorise climatic conditions based on winter temperatures (susceptibility to frost). These zones range from 1a (coldest) to 13b (mildest). These winter hardiness zones can help you find the right plants and trees that are sufficiently hardy for your region.

The winter temperatures the plant or tree can withstand is noted with each product. See the overview of winter hardiness zones here:

    Characteristics of chestnut and brown creeping plants

    Brown flowering ground covers, also known as earth-toned ground plants or chocolate-coloured creepers, are perfect for adding warm tones to gardens. These plants spread across the ground, creating a dense mat that can cover large areas. They grow horizontally, making them ideal for filling spaces between taller plants or along pathways. The development of brown flowering ground covers begins in early spring. They start as small shoots and gradually spread outwards. By summer, they form a thick carpet of foliage. These plants reach maturity by late summer, providing a lush, earthy backdrop for other garden features. Brown flowering ground covers typically bloom in late summer to early autumn. The timing can vary based on climate, weather conditions, and soil quality. Warmer temperatures and well-drained soil encourage earlier blooming. Regular care, such as watering and fertilising, also plays a role in their flowering success. The blooms of these plants come in various shades, including copper-toned, rusty, and chocolate brown. The specific colour depends on the plant variety, soil type, and light exposure. More sunlight often results in deeper, richer hues. While not all brown flowering ground covers are known for their scent, some varieties may offer a subtle fragrance. This can be influenced by the plant's leaves, stems, and flowers. The intensity of the scent can vary, adding a unique element to the garden's biodiversity. Mature brown flowering ground covers can reach a height of 10 to 30 centimetres. Their low profile makes them suitable for creating layered garden designs. Choosing the right location and providing proper care ensures they thrive alongside other plants, enhancing the garden's overall appearance.

    Brown flowering ground covers, also known as chestnut ground covers or rustic brown spreading plants, offer unique foliage and colour to gardens. The leaves of these plants can vary in shape, from oval to lanceolate, and often display a rich brown hue. This colour can range from copper-toned to chocolate brown, adding earthy tones to any garden. The leaf structure is typically smooth, but some varieties may have a slight hairiness, which helps in retaining moisture. These plants are generally deciduous, losing their leaves in winter, but some species may retain foliage depending on the climate and location. In terms of winter hardiness, brown flowering ground covers can withstand mild frost but may struggle in severe cold. Factors like wind exposure and soil conditions play a role in their survival. A sheltered spot with well-drained soil can enhance their resilience. These plants are not evergreen, and their leaves usually fall annually, influenced by the type of plant and local climate. Brown flowering ground covers are moderately heat and drought-tolerant. Their origin and leaf structure, often with a waxy coating, help them conserve water. A deep root system allows them to access moisture from deeper soil layers, making them suitable for warm-toned ground cover plants in dry conditions. These plants are generally non-toxic, making them safe for gardens with children and pets. They contribute to biodiversity by providing food and shelter for insects and small animals, supporting the ecosystem. Brown flowering ground covers can enhance the beauty of brown-flowering gardens and borders, creating a harmonious balance with other plants.

    Soil and aspect tips for brown flowering coverage

    Brown flowering ground covers thrive in various light conditions. They prefer full sun to partial shade, depending on the specific plant variety. Factors like the garden's location and surrounding structures can influence light availability. These plants are generally wind-resistant, but in exposed areas, a windbreak can help protect them. The ideal soil for brown flowering ground covers is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Sandy or loamy soils are best, as they prevent waterlogging. Regular fertilisation supports healthy growth. Soil moisture is crucial; these plants need consistent moisture but not soggy conditions. Wind and sun exposure can affect soil moisture levels, so mulching can help retain it. Brown flowering ground covers prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Soil pH can be influenced by rainfall and the type of soil. Testing the soil can ensure it meets the plant's needs. These earth-toned ground plants add a unique touch to brown-flowering gardens and borders, complementing copper-toned and chocolate-coloured creepers. They are perfect for gardens with brown colour accents, creating a harmonious and earthy landscape.

    Planting time and method for brown ground plants

    Brown flowering ground covers can be planted throughout the year if they come in pots, except during frost periods. For those with root balls, the best time is spring or autumn. Factors like soil type, climate, and garden location affect planting. The distance between brown flowering ground covers depends on the plant type, initial size, and growth rate. Check the Heijnen product page for specific plant spacing details. Proper soil preparation is crucial. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter. When planting, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil, and water thoroughly. After planting, regular watering is essential, especially in dry periods, to help the plants establish. Brown flowering ground covers, also known as chestnut ground covers or rustic brown spreading plants, add earthy tones to gardens. They are perfect for brown-flowering gardens and borders, providing a copper-toned, chocolate brown, or tobacco-coloured accent. These plants thrive in gardens with brown colour accents, creating a harmonious look with sandy-coloured flowering borders and gardens.

    Maintenance for Brown Flowering Ground Covers

    Brown flowering ground covers, also known as earth-toned ground plants or chocolate-coloured creepers, are perfect for adding earthy tones to gardens. Proper care ensures they thrive and maintain their beauty.

    • Watering: These plants need regular watering, especially during dry spells. Check the soil moisture by touching it; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Water early in the morning or late in the afternoon to prevent evaporation.
    • Pruning: Prune brown flowering ground covers in early spring to encourage new growth. Use sharp shears to remove dead or overgrown parts. Pruning helps maintain a tidy appearance and promotes healthy growth.
    • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support growth. Use a slow-release fertiliser and follow the package instructions for the right amount. Fertilise once a year for best results.
    • Dividing: If the plants become too dense, divide them every 3-4 years in early spring. This helps rejuvenate the plants and encourages more blooms.
    • Winter Protection: In colder climates, add a layer of mulch to protect the roots from frost. This helps retain soil moisture and provides insulation.
    • Transplanting: If needed, transplant in early spring. Water the plant well before and after moving it to reduce stress.
