Ribes Sanguineum King Edward VII Hedging

Ribes King Edward VII, is a pretty flowering shrub that makes a good informal hedging plant. It will grow on any soil with decent drainage.
Ribes King Edward VII is good for hedges up to about 2-3 metres high.

Fruit: Although this shrub will produce edible fruit, if you want to harvest big crops of delicious currants, we recommend our varieties of red, white or blackcurrant plants.

Ribes King Edward VII hedge plants are delivered bareroot during winter (Nov-March) and pot-grown year round.
Bareroot bushes are cheaper than pot grown plants. Pot grown plants are available in the largest sizes.

See our selection of hedge shrub plants or view our full range of hedging.

Choosing a size:
When you are ordering Ribes King Edward VII plants for a hedge, we generally recommend that you use the smaller, bareroot plants. They are cheaper than the larger, pot-grown plants, easier to handle and they will establish well in poor conditions.
Use the bigger, pot-grown plants if you want a taller hedge quickly or for instant impact as a specimen shrub.
All our hedge plants are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots or pots aren't measured).

Spacing a Ribes King Edward VII hedge:

Plant Ribes King Edward VII hedging at 3 plants per metre, 33cms apart.

General description of Ribes King Edward VII plants:

This ornamental currant is an elegant shrub carrying strongly scented dark pink, almost purple, flowers in April and dark berries in summer. These are edible, but they don't taste as good as a proper fruiting currant.
This is an excellent plant for difficult positions as it grows in just about any soil. It can be used as a specimen shrub or an informal single species hedge. For a secure hedge, we advise interplanting it with a tough, thorny plant like hawthorn or blackthorn.

Did You Know?

This North American species has been growing wild in Britain since the first half of the 1800's. This variety was bred during the reign of Queen Victoria, but she died before it was released and it was named after the new king.

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.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

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 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.

Ashridge Nurseries is working as normal and the despatching of bareroot plants is underway.
