Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

Atriplex halimus, also known as alimo or saltbush, is a species of atriplex typical of Mediterranean flora. It is a vigorous shrub resistant to cold, salt spray, and extreme drought. Fast-growing and upright, it tolerates even fairly heavy pruning. Thanks to its vigorous growth and exceptional resistance to salt winds, it is often used in coastal gardens to create excellent windbreak hedges.

  • Habit and height: vigorous, fast-growing shrub with an upright habit, 1–2 metres tall.
  • Foliage: dense and small, ovate-rhomboid, grey-green with bluish highlights; edible leaves with a salty taste.
  • Flowering: in summer, small yellow-green flowers followed by winged fruits.
  • Hardiness: tolerates saline soils, strong winds, extreme drought and cold down to -15°C.
  • Ideal for: windbreaks and formal hedges in coastal gardens.
  • Soil: sandy, calcareous or saline, well-drained to prevent waterlogging.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Irrigation: moderate during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: once a year; it also tolerates severe pruning.
  • Fertilisation: no special fertilisers are required.

In summer, from June to October, it produces a modest bloom of small yellow-green flowers, followed by winged fruits.

Prefers full sun and adapts to sandy, calcareous or saline soils, provided they are well drained. Extremely resistant to salt spray, wind and drought (down to -15°C), tolerates severe pruning and is ideal for windbreak hedges.

For a coastal garden, combine it with Cistus and Lavender; for a dynamic contrast, with Stipa tenuissima or the architectural Agave americana.

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.
