This larger specification of Portuguese Laurel is perfect when you need immediate height for screening neighbouring properties, driveways or garden boundaries. It can be clipped into a formal hedge or allowed to grow more naturally for a softer, architectural effect.

A strong alternative to common Laurel hedging, it offers a more elegant leaf structure while still providing excellent coverage. It also pairs well with other evergreen hedging plants for mixed boundary planting schemes.

For best results, plant approximately 60cm apart when forming a hedge and water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, Portuguese Laurel is hardy, low maintenance and provides reliable year-round screening.
