I stopped by SVH for advice on hedge plants. Stan really takes the time to figure out which types of hedges are right for you and gives you great advice. In the end, we chose Prunus Elly. It was delivered quickly, and upon delivery, they explained step by step how to plant it. We’re very satisfied!

Super beautiful plants that more than lived up to what was promised on the website—they were both taller and more beautiful. Superb customer service with quick answers to questions. Fast delivery of the plants to Denmark (don't be afraid to make a bank transfer—you won't get scammed here). The plants are growing fantastically
Thanks, Stan

We’re very pleased with this nursery! We received a beautiful proprietary variety: the Laurier ‘Elly’. The plants were of good quality, nice and full, and healthy. You can tell right away that they’re grown with a great deal of expertise and care.
In addition, the service was friendly and professional. Everything was delivered neatly, and they kept their promises. We are very happy with the results in our garden and can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality plants and expert advice.

Pygmy Holly ‘Red Robin’
The Photinia ‘Red Robin,’ known scientifically asPhotiniax fraseri ‘Red Robin,’ is a plant that’s becoming very popular! And there are good reasons for that.
The different colors of this plant are beautiful. When the “Red Robin” sprouts new leaves in the spring, these young shoots are a fiery red. In the summer, the leaves turn dark green, and in the winter, they turn dark red. This allows you to enjoy the plant’s changing colors in your garden all year round.
Thanks to the plant's variegated foliage, this variety is perfect for adding ambiance to your garden or around your home!
Unlike the‘Robusta Compacta’ photinia, the ‘Red Robin’growsfaster and is less compact. For this reason, we recommend choosing the ‘Red Robin’ if you want your hedge to grow to at least 150 cm. If you’d prefer a shorter photinia hedge, then the ‘Robusta Compacta’ photinia is a better option!
This type of privet grows about 20 to 40 cm per year. Because the ‘Red Robin’ has a spreading growth habit, it’s best to prune this variety once or twice a year. The best time to do this is in the spring (March through May) and/or in the fall (September through November).
