PRICE PER PLANT £8.74

Cherry Laurel is a robust, evergreen shrub that makes an excellent choice for year-round screening, hedging, or as a striking specimen plant in any garden. This mature specimen at 80-100cm tall and supplied in a generous C5 pot is ready to make an immediate impact on your landscape. With its glossy, deep green foliage and elegant form, Cherry Laurel provides consistent visual interest throughout all four seasons, making it an ideal backbone plant for garden structure and privacy.

This vigorous shrub thrives in most well-draining soils and adapts well to both sunny and partially shaded positions, though it performs best with at least a few hours of sunlight daily. Once established, Cherry Laurel is remarkably low-maintenance and requires minimal intervention. It’s naturally pest and disease-resistant, and its dense growth habit means it responds beautifully to pruning or clipping, whether you’re creating a formal hedge or maintaining a more naturalistic shape.

For best results, plant your Cherry Laurel into well-prepared soil enriched with garden compost or planting compost, and water regularly during the first growing season to encourage strong root establishment. Once settled in, it’s remarkably drought-tolerant and won’t demand constant attention. Prune in late spring after frost risk has passed, removing any dead or damaged wood and shaping as required. A light feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring will keep your plant performing at its best.

At this size, you’re investing in a plant that’s already halfway to maturity, meaning faster results than younger specimens. Whether you’re looking to create a living screen, establish a formal hedge boundary, or add substantial evergreen structure to your borders, this Cherry Laurel will deliver reliable, handsome foliage year after year with minimal fuss.
