What are the best-known and most popular native shrubs?
Within the Dutch landscape, there are a number of species that have adorned our gardens and woodlands for centuries. The Hawthorn (Crataegus) is an absolute classic, known for its beautiful white blossoms and ecological value. The Field Maple (Acer campestre), often used as a hedging plant, is also a very popular native shrub. Other well-known names include the Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) with its striking red berries and the Hazel (Corylus avellana), which adds color as early as the beginning of spring with its catkins. These species are not only beautiful but belong here naturally.
The benefits of native shrubs
Planting native shrubs offers countless benefits for both the gardener and nature:
- Biodiversity: They provide the perfect food and shelter for local insects and birds.
- Resilience: Because they occur here naturally, they are highly resistant to Dutch weather and local diseases.
- Maintenance: A native shrub often requires less extra nutrition or water than non-native species.
- Ecological balance: You help restore the natural balance in your immediate surroundings.
What to look for when buying native shrubs?
When purchasing native When choosing shrubs, it is essential to consider their eventual size. Many native species naturally grow quite large and require space to develop their characteristic shape. Also, pay attention to the function: are you looking for a fruit-bearing shrub for birds, or a thorny shrub like the Blackthorn to keep unwanted guests out of the garden? Additionally, check the origin; at Planten247, we ensure that the plants are strong and healthy so they get off to a good start in your garden right away.
What types of native shrubs are there?
There is an enormous diversity of native shrubs, each with unique characteristics:
- Fruit-bearing: The Rowan and the Common Elder (Sambucus nigra) are favorites with birds and humans.
- Flowering: The Buckthorn and the Spurge (Rhamnus frangula) are crucial for butterflies such as the Brimstone.
- Hedge-forming: The Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and the Field Maple lend themselves perfectly to formal or natural hedges.
Every native shrub brings its own seasonal dynamic, from spring bloom to beautiful autumn colors.
Where do I place my native shrubs?
Because a native shrub is accustomed to our soil conditions, they are often quite flexible regarding their location. Most species thrive excellently in full sun to partial shade. In a larger garden, they come into their own beautifully in a mixed shrub hedge or as a solitary eye-catcher at the back of the border. Do you have a smaller garden? Then choose species that tolerate pruning well, such as the Hawthorn. When planting, ensure a spacious planting hole and mix the native soil with some compost for a healthy first growth period.How do I care for my native shrubs?
Fortunately, the care of a native shrub is quite minimal. In the first year after planting, it is important to water during prolonged drought so that the roots can establish themselves well. Once mature, most species manage perfectly well on their own. Pruning depends on the function; You prune a natural hedge one to two times a year, whereas you can often simply let a solitary shrub grow freely. If necessary, remove only dead or crossing branches to keep the shrub vital and open.Native shrubs: which sandy soil?
Not every native shrub likes the same soil, but there are specific standouts for sandy soils. Sandy soil is often drier and less nutrient-rich. The Juniper (Juniperus communis) and the Broom (Cytisus scoparius) are perfectly adapted to these conditions. The Serviceberry (Amelanchier lamarckii) and the Holly (Ilex aquifolium) also do surprisingly well on sandy soils. These plants often root deeply or have leaf structures that prevent evaporation, allowing them to remain beautifully green and vital even during a dry Dutch summer without constant watering.

Are native shrubs better for my garden?
Yes, they are often hardier and suffer less from pests. Moreover, they support local fauna much better than non-native garden plants, because the insects and plants have evolved together.
When do most native shrubs bloom?
Flowering is staggered; the Hazel starts as early as January/February, while most species such as the Hawthorn and the Elder bloom profusely in May and June for a beautiful spring scene.
Can I also plant native shrubs in a small garden?
Certainly, but choose species that tolerate pruning well or remain compact. You can keep a Field Maple or Hornbeam perfectly at the desired size through pruning, even in a city garden.
Do native shrubs need extra fertilization?
In most cases, extra fertilization is not necessary once the plant is established. An annual layer of mulch or compost around the base of the plant is often sufficient to keep the soil healthy.
