Ready to plant

Sarcopoterium spinosum (also known as Spinaporci or Pimpinella spinosa) is an evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region. The plant grows into an impenetrable tangle of thorny branches covered with small dark green leaves. This mass of sharp spines makes Sarcopoterium perfect for creating a defensive hedge capable of keeping wildlife at bay.

This shrub prefers poor, stony or sandy soils, provided they are well-drained. A soil that is too rich and fertile would, on the contrary, lead to a shorter lifespan for the plant.

The flowers are inconspicuous and appear from February to April.

It prefers poor, stony or sandy soils, provided they are well-drained; soil that is too rich would reduce its longevity. It loves full sun, is very drought-tolerant and can withstand temperatures down to around -10°C. Its dense network of thorny branches makes it suitable for creating defensive hedges.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
