Bring more life into your garden or rewilding space with Alder Buckthorn seedlings. A native UK species, Rhamnus frangula is a hardy, deciduous shrub that’s ideal for hedging, woodland edges, and wildlife planting. Its glossy green leaves, pale yellow flowers, and berries that ripen from red to black make it a visually appealing choice, too.
Often called Glossy Buckthorn, this shrub plays an important role in native ecosystems. It’s a crucial food source for butterflies like the Brimstone and Comma, and its berries are loved by birds throughout the season. It thrives in moist, acidic soil, but will grow in a variety of conditions, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners and conservation projects alike.
I'm working on making a wildlife garden, and have recently planted 5 buckthorn roots. To date I was so pleased to see tiny green buds on the stems. I've tried growing from bare roots previously and it's not always easy to get plants to root. So this time I'm hopeful.
