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.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
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.

The flower colour(s) of the plant. 

Flowering month

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.

    Tall bushes, also known as towering garden bushes or high-growing ornamental bushes, are popular for adding height and structure to gardens. These tall flowering shrubs can grow in various forms, often reaching impressive heights and spreading widely. They are ideal for creating privacy screens or as boundary shrubs. The development of tall bushes begins in early spring when new shoots emerge. As the season progresses, these shrubs grow rapidly, reaching their full height by late summer. The growth rate can vary depending on the species, climate, and care provided. Tall bushes typically bloom in late spring to early summer. The exact blooming period can be influenced by factors such as temperature, soil quality, and the age of the plant. Proper care, including regular watering and fertilisation, can enhance blooming. The flowers of tall bushes come in a range of colours, from vibrant reds and pinks to soft whites and yellows. The bloom colour can depend on the specific type of shrub, soil conditions, and sunlight exposure. Regular pruning and maintenance can also affect the vibrancy of the blooms. While not all tall bushes are known for their fragrance, some varieties do offer a pleasant scent. The intensity of the fragrance can vary, influenced by the type of shrub and environmental conditions.

The leaves of tall bushes can vary greatly in shape, colour, and texture. Some have broad, glossy leaves, while others may have narrow, matte foliage. The colour can range from deep green to variegated patterns, depending on the species. These bushes may lose their leaves in winter, but many are evergreen, providing year-round interest. Factors like species choice and climate influence whether they retain their foliage through colder months.

    When it comes to winter hardiness, tall bushes can be quite resilient. They can withstand low temperatures, but the degree of frost tolerance depends on the specific type, the duration of frost, and the garden's wind exposure. Well-drained soil also plays a crucial role in their survival during cold spells.

    In terms of heat and drought resistance, tall bushes are generally robust. Their origin, leaf structure, and root system contribute to their ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. Some have a waxy coating or fine hairs on their leaves to reduce water loss, while others develop deep roots to access moisture.

    Regarding safety, tall bushes are typically non-toxic and safe for gardens with children and pets. They pose no danger when used as intended in a garden setting.

Their long blooming periods and insect-friendly characteristics help maintain ecological balance and enhance garden resilience against pests.

To protect them, consider planting them near a fence or using windbreaks. This will help prevent damage and ensure they grow upright.

    Tall bushes, also known as majestic shrub plants or statement garden bushes, can be planted throughout the year if they are delivered in pots. However, avoid planting during frost periods.
