Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.
Height at time of delivery (cm)
Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Mature height (cm)

Mature height (cm)

The mature height of a plant is the height the plant reaches when it is mature. It is also called the maximum height. This height is given in centimetres and refers to the height of the visible part of the plant above the ground. In other words, the trunk/stem, branches and leaves. The root ball that is (normally) below the ground is excluded from this measurement. Location and soil type also affect mature plant height.

Genus
Show more
Genus

The genus is a taxonomic classification that includes several closely related species. Genus is a rank that is above the 'species' rank. The spelling of the genus name always includes one scientific name beginning with a capital letter. A genus cannot be ordered as a product; a species or variety can be ordered.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Growth habit
Show more
Growth habit

Growth habit is the way in which the plant grows and what general shape the plant has. Roughly speaking, we can divide our plants into the following categories:

  • Bushy spreading growth habit - in this growth habit, the plant grows bushy in both height and width.
  • Climbing growth habit - as the name suggests, a climbing plant. Suitable for positioning against a wall, fence or pergola.
  • Creeping wide-spreading growth habit - relatively low-growing and ground-covering plants that spread considerably, especially in width.
  • Upright growth habit - these plants grow mostly straight up and with virtually no overhang.
  • Upright to bushy growth habit - these plants tend to grow straight up and, especially as they grow taller, may overhang slightly.
  • Clump-forming and upright growth habit - these plants form a single clump from which stems, leaves and flowers grow. The taller the plant, the more the leaves and stems may overhang.
  • Clump-forming growth habit - these plants form a single clump and remain somewhat more compact in shape
  • Sod-forming growth habit - these plants form a dense carpet. Stems and leaves grow very closely together. You could compare this to the growth habit of a lawn.

Application
Show more
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Flower colour

Winter hardiness

Winter hardiness

A winter hardiness zone, also known as a USDA zone, is a classification system used to categorise climatic conditions based on winter temperatures (susceptibility to frost). These zones range from 1a (coldest) to 13b (mildest). These winter hardiness zones can help you find the right plants and trees that are sufficiently hardy for your region.

The winter temperatures the plant or tree can withstand is noted with each product. See the overview of winter hardiness zones here:

USDA Hardness zones in °C

Evergreen plants
Evergreen plants

Also known as leaf-retaining plants. These are plants that retain their leaves regardless of the season and continue to provide colour in the garden, even in winter.

Fragrant plants
Fragrant plants

This refers to whether the plant gives off a certain scent. In most cases, the scent of a fragrant plant comes from the leaves and/or flowers.

Fruit-bearing plants
Fruit-bearing plants

Plants that form fruits or berries after flowering.

    Buy full-sun rock plants

    Welcome to the vibrant world of full sun rock garden plants, where the resilient Chiastophyllum oppositifolium and the radiant Scutellaria incana thrive. These sun-loving species are tailor-made for rockery landscapes, boasting the ability to flourish under the full glare of the sun, providing a lush, hardy display of natural beauty.

    Thriving in the Sunlight: Rock Garden Essentials

    Crafting a rock garden that basks in the full sun requires selecting plants that not only survive but thrive under the unfiltered intensity of the sun's rays. Full sun rock garden plants are the backbone of a garden tapestry, creating a scene that's both hardy and visually striking. These plants, with their diverse forms and adaptations, are sculpted by nature to withstand the direct sunlight that can challenge less robust species.

    Perfect Picks for Your Sunlit Rockery

    When choosing plants for a sun-drenched rock garden, consider the charming Iberis sempervirens 'Snowflake', which carpets the rocky terrain with its pristine white blossoms. Equally impressive is the Prunella grandiflora 'Alba', whose delicate white flowers provide a soft contrast against the rugged backdrop.

    The vibrant hues of Silene schafta 'Splendens' with its vivid pink blossoms create a striking visual effect, while the spiky allure of Veronica spicata 'Inspire Blue' adds a cool blue vertical interest to the arrangement. The aromatic Origanum 'Rosenkuppel', with its delightful scent and richly colored flowers, attracts beneficial pollinators, enhancing your garden's ecosystem.

    For a touch of dramatic flair, the Centaurea montana 'Coerulea', commonly known as the perennial cornflower, showcases its striking blue petals, offering a perennial show of color. The fiery Gaillardia 'Burgunder', with its deep burgundy blooms, injects warmth into your rockery, complementing the cooler tones of its floral neighbors.

    Lastly, the Phlox subulata 'Atropurpurea', with its rich purple flowers, serves as a dense ground cover that weaves through the rocky crevices, uniting the various elements of your rock garden into a cohesive, colorful whole.

    Cultivating Success in Your Full Sun Rock Garden

    To ensure your full sun rock garden plants flourish, consider their individual needs. Most full sun rock garden species prefer well-drained soil as it mimics their natural rocky environments, preventing water from pooling around their roots. It's essential to plant them at the appropriate depth and spacing to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

    Regular maintenance, such as deadheading spent flowers and dividing overgrown clumps, will keep your plants healthy and encourage a more extended blooming period. While these sun-loving plants are drought-tolerant, they will benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells, especially as they become established in their new home.

    By choosing the right plants and providing the care they need, your full sun rock garden will become a stunning display that celebrates the resilience and beauty of these sun-worshipping species.
