Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

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.

  • Habit and height: compact, rounded thorny shrub, 30–50 cm tall.
  • Foliage: evergreen, with small pinnate leaves on a tangle of thorny branches.
  • Flowering: between March and May, with small, inconspicuous flowers.
  • Fruit: dry, leathery, reddish-brown fruit.
  • Hardiness: very drought-tolerant and resistant to salt spray; thrives in poor soils.
  • Ideal for: defensive hedges against wildlife, coastal gardens, and habitat restoration projects.
  • Soil: poor, stony, sandy or calcareous, well-drained; soil that is too rich shortens its lifespan.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Watering: regular during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: not necessary; remove dry or damaged branches at the end of winter.

Contrasts with the silvery foliage of Helichrysum italicum and Santolina chamaecyparissus; in rock gardens it pairs with Stipa tenuissima and Cistus creticus.

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.
