Hawthorn hedge plants

Crataegus monogyna hedging

From £0.59

Hawthorn hedge plants, also known as Quickthorn, make an attractive native hedge. The mid-green foliage acts as a foil for masses of white, scented flowers in the spring and then for shiny, red haws when autumn arrives. The sharp thorns that adorn the branches make Crataegus monogyna a great intruder deterrent, whilst providing shelter for wildlife.

  • Best Features: Red haws, wildlife friendly, spring flowers
  • Ideal For Hedges: 1m - 5m high
  • Growth Rate: Fast | 40-60cm a year
  • Position: Any soil; dry, normal or moist (but not wet), sun or dappled shade, exposed inland and coastal
  • Also Consider: Browse our range of prickly, intruder proof hedging plants.

Hawthorn hedge (Crataegus monogyna) description

Hawthorn hedging is a wonderful choice for wildlife interest; it supports over 150 species of insects and is an important source of food for birds. The white blossom that decorates Hawthorn hedges in spring gives off a lovely, delicate fragrance and is very popular with bees.

Best uses for Hawthorn hedging

This variety of hedge plants is perfect for paddock hedging, a cottage garden or informal hedge and landscape hedging. Crataegus monogyna is a versatile, native plant that can be left bushy or trimmed neatly depending on your desired look. With its large spikey thorns, Quickthorn is ideal to use as an intruder deterrent and also makes a useful windbreak, even in the winter months; although Hawthorn is a deciduous variety, the dense branches provide some cover.

Combine your Hawthorn hedge with

Grown alone, Hawthorn hedging creates an attractive and effective screen; however, it can also be combined with any number of other native plants for a diverse hedgerow, boasting an array of different flowers, berries and foliage colours. If you're looking for a readymade native hedge for instant impact, then consider our mixed hedging packs.

Growth rate of Hawthorn hedging

Crataegus monogyna is fast growing and can achieve on average 40-60cm each year. A Hawthorn hedge is suitable for heights between 1-5m.

Care advice for Hawthorn hedging
