Instant Impact Portuguese Laurel
(Prunus lusitanica)

Portuguese Laurel boasts dark green, luscious glossy, and pointed leaves, on distinctive deep pink/maroon stems - the perfect hedging favourite.

Instant impact Portuguese Laurel is a favourite, with it being fully matured and ready to plant at any time of the year.

Being quite an elegant species, Portuguese Laurel boasts delicate, small, fragrant, white flowers which will bloom during Summer- easily attracting the bees and butterflies- following with small red fruits for the birds by Autumn. It's the ideal hedge for providing wind/noise protection, and year-round screening, due to its compact nature and reasonably fast-growing habit.̴Ì?

Prunus lusitanica is easy to grow and can tolerate most soil conditions/site situations (even dry shade)- though we don't advise planting on coastal sites. However, we do highly recommend a chalk-based soil for Portuguese Laurel.

It's a hardy, resilient plant which can face many situations, but we advise providing some protection for very windy sites.

Please note: The berries and leaves are harmful if eaten.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
