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.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.
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.

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

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

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.

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.

Flowering month

Ideal placement of a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

The Ilex crenata 'Blondie' thrives across a range of exposures, from full sun to partial shade and even in shaded areas, making it an adaptable choice for diverse garden settings. Its flexibility extends to soil preferences; it can flourish in various soil types, provided they are {R. well-drained}. For optimal growth and foliage color, selecting a site that meets these conditions will ensure the plant's golden spring leaves mature to their characteristic green, maintaining a moderate growth rate and contributing to a visually appealing hedge throughout the seasons.

Planting a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

When planting Ilex crenata 'Blondie', select a location that can be in full sun to shade, ensuring the plant thrives in various light conditions. The root ball should be well-watered before planting, and the hole should be dug to a depth that allows the root ball to sit level with the soil surface. After placing the root ball in the hole, backfill with native soil mixed with compost to encourage healthy root growth. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots and continue to provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, as this species is not drought resistant.

Pruning a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

For Ilex crenata 'Blondie', pruning is a task that demands minimal effort. This plant's growth habit allows it to maintain a neat appearance with little intervention. Pruning should be performed once a year to shape the hedge or to encourage denser foliage. The ideal time for this is late spring after the plant has flowered, ensuring that the vibrant gold and yellow leaves of spring can mature into their summer green. Pruning before winter is not recommended, as this plant is evergreen and maintains its foliage year-round.

Watering a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

The Ilex crenata 'Blondie' thrives with consistent moisture, particularly during its formative years to establish a robust root system. While it can adapt to various soil types, provided they are well-drained, this species is not drought-tolerant and will benefit from additional watering during dry spells. It is crucial to ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged, as excess water can be detrimental. During the winter months, the plant's water requirements diminish, but one should still monitor the soil moisture, especially in zones with lower winter hardiness, to protect against freeze-thaw cycles that can stress the plant.

Fertilising a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

To ensure the vibrant foliage of Ilex 'Blondie' maintains its lustrous appearance throughout the year, a consistent fertilizing routine is key. It is recommended to fertilize the plant in early spring, just as the growing season commences. This timing allows the nutrients to support the flush of new growth and the deepening of the foliage's hues. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is ideal, as it provides a steady supply of essential nutrients over several months. Additionally, a second application in mid-summer can promote continued health and vigor, particularly important for a plant that serves as a hedge with a moderate growth rate. When fertilizing, take care to apply the product according to the manufacturer's instructions, as over-fertilization can lead to excessive growth and a less dense habit.

The characteristics of a Ilex crenata 'Blondie'

Ilex crenata 'Blondie' is a remarkable variety that offers year-round interest with its bright, lime-green foliage that stands out in any landscape. Its compact size and slow growth rate make it an excellent choice for small gardens or as a feature in container plantings. This species thrives in well-drained soil and, once established, is quite tolerant of dry conditions. Its root ball ensures a strong foundation, making it a resilient addition to your outdoor space.

The ideal variety for you Buy ilex crenata 'Blondie'
