Mature height (cm)
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
Flower colour

The flower colour(s) of the plant. 

Flowering month
Flowering month

The month(s) in which the plant flowers under normal (weather) conditions. 

Winter hardiness
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:

USDA Hardness zones in °C

Evergreen plants
Evergreen plants

Also known as leaf-retaining plants. These are plants that retain their leaves regardless of the season and continue to provide colour in the garden, even in winter.

Fragrant plants
Fragrant plants

This refers to whether the plant gives off a certain scent. In most cases, the scent of a fragrant plant comes from the leaves and/or flowers.

Fruit-bearing plants
Fruit-bearing plants

Plants that form fruits or berries after flowering.

    What are snow-white and pearl-toned garden bushes?

    White flowering bushes, also known as pure white garden bushes or bright white bush flowers, are a beautiful addition to any garden.

    Features of pure white ornamental flowering shrubs

    White flowering bushes, also known as snow-white ornamental bushes or pearl-white flowering bushes, are a stunning addition to any garden. These elegant white-flowering shrubs grow in various forms, often reaching a width of 1 to 2 metres. They can spread gracefully, creating a soft white or ivory-toned backdrop in a garden with white colour accents. The development of white flowering bushes begins in early spring. Buds start to form as temperatures rise, and by late spring, they reach their full bloom. The growth process is influenced by factors like soil quality, sunlight, and regular watering. In a well-maintained garden, these shrubs can thrive and display their beauty. White flowering bushes typically bloom from late spring to early summer. The exact timing depends on the climate and weather conditions. Warmer temperatures and well-drained soil encourage earlier blooming. Proper care, such as pruning and fertilising, also plays a role in their flowering success. The blooms of these shrubs are often snow white, cream-coloured, or milky white. The specific shade can vary based on the cultivar and soil conditions. Adequate sunlight and a balanced pH level in the soil enhance the vibrancy of the flowers. While not all white flowering bushes are known for their fragrance, some varieties offer a subtle scent. This fragrance can add an extra layer of enjoyment to a garden, attracting pollinators and enhancing biodiversity. Mature white flowering bushes can reach heights of 1 to 3 metres. Their height and spread make them ideal for creating pure white borders and gardens. Choosing the right location and providing proper care ensures they grow to their full potential, adding elegance to any garden setting.

    White flowering bushes are a beautiful addition to any garden. The leaves of these elegant white-flowering shrubs can vary in shape, colour, and texture. Some have oval leaves, while others may be more elongated. The colour ranges from deep green to lighter shades, and the texture can be smooth or slightly hairy. These bushes often keep their leaves in winter, depending on the species and climate conditions.

    When it comes to winter hardiness, white flowering bushes can be quite resilient. They can withstand cold temperatures, but prolonged frost and strong winds can affect their health. The soil condition also plays a role; well-drained soil helps them survive the winter better.

    Many white flowering bushes are evergreen, meaning they retain their leaves throughout the year. This characteristic depends on the species and the local climate. In milder climates, they are more likely to stay green all year round.

    These bushes are also known for their heat and drought resistance. Originating from various climates, they have adapted to withstand dry conditions. Their leaf structure, often with a waxy coating, helps reduce water loss. A deep root system allows them to access moisture from deeper soil layers.

    White flowering bushes are generally non-toxic, making them safe for gardens with children and pets. They are easy to maintain and pose no danger when handled properly.

    In terms of biodiversity, white flowering bushes support local ecosystems. They provide food and shelter for insects and birds, contributing to a balanced garden environment. Their long blooming period and insect-friendly nature make them a valuable addition to any garden with white colour accents.

    Where to use white bushes for clarity and contrast

    White flowering bushes, also known as snow-white ornamental bushes or pearl-white flowering bushes, can add elegance and charm to any garden. These elegant white-flowering shrubs are perfect for creating a classic and sophisticated look. Here are some ways to use them in the garden:

    • White flowering borders: Use white flowering bushes to create pure white borders and gardens, adding a touch of elegance and clarity.
    • Group planting: Plant these bushes in groups to form a stunning display of white colour accents, perfect for evening gardens.
    • Solitary planting: A single white flowering bush can serve as a focal point, providing a striking contrast against other plants.
    • Hedges: Use these bushes as a hedge or privacy screen, offering both beauty and function.
    • Containers: Plant white flowering bushes in pots or containers to decorate patios or balconies with soft white blooms.
    • Underplanting: Combine with other plants to create a layered effect, enhancing the garden's depth and texture.

    Consider adding fragrant white-flowering bushes to your garden for a delightful scent. Whether you want to buy white flowering bushes or simply enjoy their beauty, they are a versatile choice for any garden with white colour accents.

    Pairing white flowering shrubs with bold companions

    White flowering shrubs can create a stunning effect in any garden. These elegant white-flowering shrubs pair beautifully with a variety of other plants. Consider combining them with deep green foliage plants like ferns or hostas. The contrast between the bright white bush flowers and the lush green leaves can be striking. Another option is to plant them alongside colourful perennials such as purple salvia or red daylilies. This combination adds a vibrant touch to the garden with white colour accents.

    For a more subtle look, pair white flowering bushes with cream-coloured or ivory-toned plants. This creates a soft white and milky white palette that is soothing and elegant. Fragrant white-flowering bushes can also be combined with lavender or rosemary for a garden that delights the senses. These combinations not only look beautiful but also attract pollinators, enhancing the garden's ecosystem.

    White shrubs for evening gardens are particularly effective, as their snow white blooms stand out in low light. This makes them perfect for creating pure white borders and gardens that glow at dusk. Whether used in white flowering borders or as part of a garden with white colour accents, these shrubs offer versatility and beauty.

    Site, soil and sunlight for white bloom success

    White flowering bushes thrive best in full sun to partial shade. They need at least six hours of sunlight daily to produce their elegant white blooms. However, too much direct sun can cause stress, so a balance is key. Wind can be a concern for these snow-white ornamental bushes. Planting them near a fence or using windbreaks can help protect them from strong gusts. The ideal soil for white flowering bushes is well-drained and rich in organic matter. A mix of loam and sand is perfect, as it allows roots to breathe while retaining necessary moisture. Regular fertilisation supports healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Soil moisture is crucial for pearl-white flowering bushes. They prefer consistently moist soil, but not waterlogged. Wind and sun can dry out the soil, so mulching helps retain moisture. These bushes favour a slightly acidic to neutral pH level, around 6.0 to 7.0. Soil pH affects nutrient availability, so testing and adjusting the pH can enhance growth. Incorporating white flowering shrubs into a garden with white colour accents creates a stunning visual effect. Their soft white, ivory-toned blooms add elegance to any garden setting.

    When and how to plant white garden bushes

    White flowering bushes can be planted throughout the year if they are delivered in pots, except during frost periods. For those with root balls or bare roots, the best time is in spring or autumn. Factors like soil type, sunlight, and climate play a role in successful planting. The distance between white flowering bushes depends on the plant type, initial size, and growth rate. Typically, the number of plants per metre is specified on the product page. Proper soil preparation is crucial for white flowering bushes. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and mix compost into the soil. When planting, place the bush at the same depth as it was in the pot. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain regular watering, especially in dry periods. This helps establish strong roots. White flowering bushes add elegance to gardens with white colour accents, creating a stunning display of pure white garden bushes and bright white bush flowers.

    Maintenance for White Flowering Bushes

    White flowering bushes add elegance to any garden. Proper care ensures they thrive.

    • Watering: Check soil moisture regularly. Water deeply in the morning if the top inch is dry. Avoid overwatering.
    • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring. Use clean, sharp tools to remove dead or damaged branches. This encourages healthy growth and more blooms.
    • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring. Follow package instructions for quantity. Fertilise again in mid-summer for best results.
    • Dividing: Divide bushes every 3-5 years in early spring. This prevents overcrowding and promotes vigorous growth.
    • Winter Protection: Mulch around the base in late autumn to protect roots from frost. Remove mulch in early spring.
    • Transplanting: Best done in early spring or autumn. Water well before and after moving. Ensure the new location has similar light and soil conditions.
