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.

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
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

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.

Flower colour

They are often used in green-flowering gardens to provide a naturalistic look. Some well-known types include Alchemilla, Helleborus, and Euphorbia.

    Traits of fresh green and verdant ground cover

    Green flowering ground covers are a wonderful addition to any garden. These verdant ground cover plants spread across the soil, creating a fresh green carpet. They grow low to the ground, often reaching a width of up to 1 metre, depending on the species. As they develop, these green groundcover plants start from small shoots and gradually fill in the space, forming a lush, greenish hue. The blooming period for green flowering ground covers varies. Typically, they flower in late spring to early summer. Factors like climate, temperature, and soil preparation play a role in their blooming. In cooler climates, they might bloom later, while in warmer areas, they can start earlier. Proper care and maintenance ensure a healthy bloom. The flowers of these green ground covering plants are subtle green bloomers. The colour can range from lime green to moss green, depending on the type and soil conditions. Light exposure and climate also affect the intensity of the greenish hues. While not known for a strong scent, some green flowering ground covers have a mild fragrance. This can be influenced by the leaves and stems, adding a gentle aroma to gardens with green colour accents. Mature green flowering ground cover plants can reach a height of 10 to 30 cm. Their height and spread make them ideal for soft green borders and gardens. Choosing the right location and providing proper care will help them thrive, creating a naturalistic green ground cover.

    Green flowering ground covers are a versatile choice for any garden. These green-hued spreading plants have a variety of leaf shapes, colours, and textures. Leaves can be lime green, dark green, or even moss green, adding subtle green bloomers to gardens with green colour accents. The structure of the leaves can be smooth or hairy, which helps in retaining moisture. Some green groundcover plants are evergreen, keeping their leaves year-round, while others shed leaves in winter, depending on the species and climate.

    Winter hardiness is crucial for green flowering ground cover plants. They can withstand cold temperatures, but factors like wind and soil conditions play a role. In areas with harsh winters, choosing frost-resistant varieties is essential. These plants are often found in naturalistic green ground covers, providing a lush look even in colder months.

    Heat and drought resistance are also important. Many leafy ground covers have deep root systems and waxy or hairy leaves to conserve water. Originating from various climates, they adapt well to dry conditions, making them ideal for green-flowering gardens in warmer regions.

    Regarding safety, green flowering ground covers 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, enhancing the ecosystem's balance.

    Examples of beautiful plant combinations include green flowering ground cover plants with lime green hostas and dark green ivy.

The use of green groundcover plants in gardens with green colour accents ensures a balanced and visually appealing landscape.

    Site and soil needs for green spreading plants

    Green flowering ground covers thrive in various light conditions. They prefer full sun to partial shade, depending on the specific variety. Factors like the garden's location and surrounding structures can influence light availability. These plants are generally not wind-sensitive, but in exposed areas, a windbreak can help protect them. The ideal soil for green flowering ground covers is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Sandy loam or loamy soil types are best. Regular fertilisation supports healthy growth. Soil moisture is crucial; these plants need consistent moisture but should not sit in waterlogged conditions. Wind and sun exposure can affect soil moisture levels, so monitoring is essential. Green flowering ground covers prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH, around 6.0 to 7.0. Soil pH can be influenced by the type of soil and the presence of organic material. Adjusting pH with lime or sulphur can help achieve the desired level. These verdant ground cover plants add subtle green bloomers to gardens, enhancing green-flowering borders with fresh green and lime green hues.

    Best planting practices for natural green tones

    Green flowering ground covers can be planted throughout the year if they come in pots, except during frost. For those with roots or clumps, spring and autumn are ideal. Factors like soil type, sunlight, and climate affect planting success. When considering plant spacing, the type and size of the green-hued spreading plants at planting time are crucial. Fast-growing varieties may need more space, while slower ones can be closer. The number of leafy ground cover plants per metre is often listed on the product page. Proper soil preparation is vital for green groundcover. Loosen the soil and remove weeds to ensure healthy growth. When planting green ground covering plants, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. After planting, water thoroughly to help the roots establish. Regular watering is essential, especially in dry periods, to maintain the fresh green appearance of the plants. Gardens with green colour accents benefit from these practices, creating soft green borders and gardens with subtle green bloomers.

    Maintenance of Green Ground Covering Plants

    Green flowering ground covers are perfect for adding lushness to gardens. Proper care ensures they thrive. Here’s how to maintain them:

    • Watering: Check soil moisture regularly. Water when the top inch is dry. Early morning is best to prevent evaporation.
    • Pruning: Trim in early spring to encourage growth. Use sharp shears for clean cuts. Pruning helps maintain shape and promotes blooms.
    • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring. Follow package instructions for quantity. Fertilising supports healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
    • Dividing: Divide every 3-4 years in autumn. This prevents overcrowding and rejuvenates plants. Ensure each section has roots.
    • Winter Protection: Mulch with organic material to protect roots from frost. Remove in spring to allow new growth.
    • Transplanting: Best done in early spring or autumn. Water well after moving to reduce stress. Ensure the new location has similar conditions.

They add greenish hues, from lime green to moss green, creating a fresh green look. For those looking to buy green flowering ground covers, these plants are ideal for gardens with green colour accents.
