Green Leylandii
(x Cupressocyparis leylandii)

Leylandii is the fastest growing hedge, sitting at a growth rate of 70-90cm per year - a popular choice amongst gardeners who take recognition of its brilliant attributes.

The Leylandii is an elegant hedge which will make the perfect addition to your garden. Leylandii is well-known for its growth rate, but also for its evergreen, fragrant foliage that gives you rich colours of green all year round. As well as this, the plant is perfect for windbreak, noise reduction and privacy.

It is important to consider that it can grow very tall, and very quickly, so it is important that you keep it a reasonable height so that maintenance of the hedge does not get too difficult- though it is also common for many people to have Leylandii hedges around 5-6ft tall, in which they easily maintain.

  • Growth height: Fast (40-60cm per year)
  • Ideal Height: 2.5m Tall
  • Soil Type: Normal
  • Exposure: Coastal, Exposed, Inland
  • Aspect: Full shade, Sun
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

In terms of trimming the Leylandii, ensure you trim around Springtime (when the weather begins to warm up). It can also be done in Summertime; however, you must make sure there have been no dry spells or very hot weather. As well as this, it‰ۡó»s also important to notice that Leylandii does not grow from old wood, so therefore cannot be left to go way out of hand and then suddenly trimmed down to size.

When should I plant Leylandii hedging?

The best time to plant a Leylandii hedge is any time from September through to March, as long as the ground is not frozen.

How far apart do you plant Leylandii plants?

It is recommended to plant Leylandii hedges around 60-100cm apart. If planting at 60cm, you will get a denser hedge quicker. If time is not a worry, then feel free to plant at a larger distance than this, as the plants grow very quickly regardless. It's good to note, however, that we do recommend at least 3 plants per metre for smaller plants (such as 40/60cm), as this promotes best establishment.

How to plant your Leylandii:

Dig the hole about double the size of the plant's root mass. Break up the soil at the bottom of the hole (this will help the roots spread out easier), and mix in some plant feed. If you have poor quality soil, be sure to add some good quality topsoil/multipurpose soil, as well.

Water the root ball well, so it is nice and moist before planting. Remove it from the pot/packaging. Place it into the hole and ensure the top of the roots are only about 1/2 inch below soil level. Fill the hole back up with soil and compost, and press down gently but firmly to secure the plant.

Water the plant well, and ensure it stays moist (especially during summer). Please note that the roots cannot dry out as this is a crucial time for them to establish their roots underground.

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.
