Growing Convolvulus cneorum

They prefer poor soils, love chalk, and need sharp drainage, with full sun. They are rated H4, which is hardy in most of the UK, but will be happier in pots that can be moved into shelter in cold Scottish regions. Its natural habitat is in coastal rock crevices where it is out of the full force of the wind, so some shelter is ideal for it to maintain its shape, but overall not essential, especially in warmer Southern areas.

They are low maintenance: mature plants only need a good prune after flowering to keep their height at around 40cms, so that they stay bushy and flower well the following year.

In Your Garden Design

Unlike its cousins (see below), this is a much-appreciated plant ideal for partnering with many other plants, particularly those with similar Mediterranean dispositions such as salvias and lavender. Its lovely silvery grey foliage adds a fabulously cool visual element that contrasts well with dark greens and pinks. It's also fantastic planted in white themed gardens. For an instant gardener's fix, pair with our regal whites collection. Add 'Alba' lavender and a gorgeous white bushy 'Macmillan Nurse' shrub rose, and a climbing 'White Star' rose, and you are onto a winner.

Did You Know?

This species is unusual in the sense that its cousins are mostly climbers, including every gardener's favourite plant they love to hate (well, after pesky ground elder): field bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis. Its native range is mostly coastal Spain, Italy, Croatia and Albania, and Mediterranean islands.

Delivery: Our standard delivery charges are:

Small box (orders containing only seedlings or rooted cuttings) = £7.20 (inc VAT) per order.
Standard box (bareroot plants up to 1.2metres) = £11.40 (inc VAT) per order.
Large box (pots up to and including 7.5 litres) = £15.00 (inc VAT) per order.
Trees & hedging (bareroot plants and trees over 1.2 metres in height) = £19.80 (inc VAT) per order.
Orders delivered to Scotland and the Isle of Wight may incur a surcharge (calculated during checkout). This is applicable to ALL orders to these locations.
Pallets (for all orders of root balls, and large orders, a pallet price will be automatically applied at checkout) = £75.00 (inc VAT) per order.
If, for reasons of seasonality an order needs to be split, then we will charge for each delivery. If the whole order was eligible for free P&P then the second of the split orders will be delivered free of charge.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week in summer if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
