PRICE PER PLANT £6.88

The Cherry Laurel is a reliable, evergreen shrub that offers year-round structure and interest to any garden scheme. With its glossy, deep green foliage and attractive cream-coloured flower spikes appearing in spring, this versatile plant makes an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a specimen shrub. At 60-80cm, these C2 potted specimens are well-established and will quickly integrate into your garden design, providing immediate impact without the waiting period of smaller plants.

This vigorous grower thrives in most soil types, from clay to sandy conditions, making it forgiving for gardeners with less than perfect ground. It prefers a position in full sun to partial shade and, once established, is remarkably low-maintenance. The Cherry Laurel’s dense growth habit makes it particularly valuable for creating privacy screens or windbreaks, and it responds well to regular pruning, allowing you to shape it to suit your garden’s proportions.

Care is straightforward: water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency once established. In spring, feed with a balanced fertiliser to encourage healthy new growth. Pruning can be carried out in late spring or early summer—simply clip over with hedge shears or secateurs to maintain shape. The plant is hardy across the UK and requires no special winter protection.

Whether you’re planning a formal hedge, a contemporary screening solution, or simply want an attractive evergreen focal point, the Cherry Laurel delivers excellent value and performance. Its adaptability, reliable growth, and year-round presence make it one of the most practical choices for UK gardens, rewarding minimal effort with maximum results.
