Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Paliurus spina-christi, also known as Christ's thorn, is a deciduous shrub with rustic beauty and great historical and symbolic value. Native to the Mediterranean and Asian regions, this shrub is appreciated for its spreading habit, glossy leaves, and decorative fruits. Hardy and adaptable, the Paliurus spina-christi is ideal for natural gardens, defensive hedges, and Mediterranean-style green spaces.

  • Habit and height: thorny, spreading shrub or small tree, 3–4 metres tall.
  • Foliage: deciduous, with deep glossy green oval leaves.
  • Flowering: in May–June, with small yellow-green flowers rich in nectar for bees and other pollinators.
  • Fruit: distinctive winged discs that persist for a long time and provide autumn decoration.
  • Hardiness: very hardy, drought-tolerant and resistant to salt spray.
  • Ideal for: defensive hedges and natural Mediterranean-style gardens.
  • Soil: even poor, clay, or limestone, provided it is well-drained.
  • Exposure: full sun.
  • Watering: regular in the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: light pruning at the end of winter to remove dry branches or shape the plant.

For natural hedges, it pairs with Elaeagnus x ebbingei and Pittosporum tobira; in dry gardens with Cistus creticus and Santolina chamaecyparissus, with Stipa tenuissima for a touch of movement.

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.
