Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Quercus coccifera, commonly known as the kermes oak or spiny oak, is an evergreen shrub belonging to the Fagaceae family. Typical of Mediterranean regions, this plant is known for its resilience and adaptability to difficult conditions, including poor soils, strong winds, and arid climates. Ideal for natural gardens, defensive hedges, and low-maintenance green spaces, the Quercus coccifera is a hardy and long-lived plant that adds an authentic touch to the Mediterranean landscape.

  • Habit and height: compact and thorny shrub, up to 2-4 meters.
  • Foliage: evergreen, small and leathery dark green glossy leaves, with spiny margins.
  • Flowering: in spring, small yellow-green flowers that are not very showy.
  • Fruit: brown oval acorns in autumn, food for wildlife.
  • Resistance: thrives in calcareous and poor soils, tolerates drought and high salinity.
  • Ideal for: defensive hedges, perimeters and low-maintenance natural gardens.
  • Soil: calcareous or poor, well drained.
  • Exposure: full sun; tolerates partial shade.
  • Watering: regular during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: light pruning at the end of winter, to shape or remove dead branches.

For natural hedges, it pairs with Pistacia lentiscus, Elaeagnus x ebbingei and Cistus creticus; with Stipa tenuissima, Pennisetum setaceum, Lavandula angustifolia and Gaura lindheimeri, it adds lightness 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.
