Quantity guide

How many plants do you need?

A guide for young plants in 9cm pots. Multiply your area in m² (or hedge length in metres) by the figure below. Spacing depends on soil, exposure and how quickly you need full cover, so treat these as starting ranges.

Plant Plants needed (guide) Use and notes
Vinca minor (lesser periwinkle) 5–9 per m² Evergreen ground cover, sun to shade. Scrambling spread; the higher figure gives quicker cover on banks.
Pachysandra terminalis 8–10 per m² Evergreen ground cover for shade. Slow to knit together, so plant closer.
Geranium macrorrhizum 5–7 per m² Weed-smothering ground cover. Copes with dry shade under trees.
Cotoneaster dammeri 3–4 per m² Low evergreen cover for banks. Wide-spreading; good for slopes.
Lavandula 'Munstead' (lavender) 3–4 per metre Low hedge or border edging. Full sun and free-draining soil.
Euonymus japonicus 'Green Spire' 4–5 per metre Low formal evergreen hedge. Upright habit, a popular box alternative.
Lonicera nitida 'Maigrün' 4–5 per metre Small-leaved evergreen hedge or edging. Clips well into low formal lines.
Photinia × fraseri 'Carré Rouge' 2–3 per metre Evergreen hedge with red new growth. Single row; allow for its eventual width.

Example: a 20m² shady bed of Pachysandra at 8–10 per m² needs 160–200 plants, which is roughly three 60-plant packs. Send us your dimensions and we will check the numbers with your quote.

FAQ

Trade and bulk questions, answered

Is there a minimum order for trade or bulk plants?
No formal minimum. Our ready-made packs of 40 to 60 plants can be ordered online straight away. For larger or mixed projects, email info@plantgift.ie with your species and quantities and we will quote. Large orders ship by tracked courier in large plant boxes, so a big order may arrive as several boxes.
How quickly will I get a quote?
Send us the species, quantities, delivery location and your planting window, and we typically come back with availability and a quote within one working day.
How are large orders delivered?
Large orders ship by tracked courier in large plant boxes, so a big order may arrive as several boxes. Delivery takes 5–8 working days from dispatch. Tell us your planting window when you ask for a quote and we will confirm availability and timing. Someone should be available to receive the boxes, and plants should be unpacked and watered promptly.
Where do you deliver bulk orders?
Ireland and 24 more EU countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Poland and Austria. We do not currently deliver to the UK, Switzerland or Norway.
What size are the plants in bulk packs?
Most ground cover, perennial and hedging packs are young plants in 9cm pots, typically 10–25cm tall, which is the standard size for mass planting. Each product page lists the pot size and height for that pack.
What if some plants arrive damaged?
Plants that arrive damaged, diseased or in poor condition are replaced or refunded. Email info@plantgift.ie within 48 hours of delivery with a couple of photos and we aim to reply the same or next working day.
Do you have a walk-in nursery or trade counter?
No. PlantGift is a family-run business based in Knocklyon, Dublin 16, and we sell online only, so every order is delivered to your door or site.
How many plants do I need for my area?
Use the planting guide on this page as a starting point: measure the area in square metres (or the hedge length in metres) and multiply by the plants per m² or per metre. Planting at the higher end gives faster cover. If you send us the dimensions we are happy to sense-check quantities with your quote.
