Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Quercus ilex, commonly known as the holm oak, is an evergreen tree and a symbol of the Mediterranean landscape. In its shrub form, it is perfectly suited for creating borders, hedges, and natural compositions, thanks to its compact growth habit and exceptional hardiness. Ideal for low-maintenance gardens and Mediterranean-style green spaces, the shrub holm oak combines beauty and functionality.

  • Habit and height: compact, slow-growing shrub, reaches a height of 2–4 metres.
  • Foliage: evergreen and leathery, glossy dark green above and grey-silver underneath.
  • Flowering: in spring, small, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers.
  • Fruit: oval acorns that ripen in autumn and decorate the plant.
  • Hardiness: highly resistant to drought, salt spray and poor soils.
  • Ideal for: borders, hedges and natural compositions in low-maintenance Mediterranean gardens.
  • Soil: adapts to many soils, even poor and calcareous ones, provided they are well drained.
  • Exposure: full sun; tolerates partial shade.
  • Irrigation: regular in the first few months for establishment, then very little water.
  • Pruning: light at the end of winter, to maintain the shape or remove dry branches.

For natural hedges, it pairs with Pistacia lentiscus, Elaeagnus x ebbingei and Cistus creticus; with grasses such as Stipa tenuissima or Pennisetum setaceum and flowers such as Lavandula angustifolia or Gaura lindheimeri, it adds movement and colour.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
