Prunus Lusitanica Angustifolia

Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ – The Sleek Portuguese Laurel for Elegant Structure and Year-Round Interest

Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’, commonly known as the Narrow-Leaved Portuguese Laurel, is a refined evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its slender, glossy foliage and compact, upright form. A sophisticated alternative to traditional laurels, it offers dense greenery year-round, with the bonus of fragrant white flowers in early summer. Its elegant look, combined with exceptional toughness, makes it a favorite for hedging, screening, or creating formal garden features in both urban and rural landscapes.


Why Grow Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’?

Elegant Narrow Leaves – Dark green, slender leaves create a fine-textured and polished appearance, ideal for stylish, contemporary gardens.

Summer Flowers – Spikes of small, fragrant white flowers appear in early summer, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators.

Dense and Upright Growth – Forms a neat, compact hedge or screen without excessive pruning, perfect for formal designs or privacy planting.

Hardy and Low Maintenance – Highly resilient to drought, pollution, and a wide range of soils, needing little care once established.


Height of Plant

Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ grows to around 4–6 meters in height and 2–3 meters in width if left untrimmed, but can easily be kept lower through regular pruning.


Where to Site Your Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’

Thanks to its versatility and elegant form, Narrow-Leaved Portuguese Laurel suits many settings:

  • Formal hedges and screens

  • Urban gardens needing privacy

  • Woodland gardens as a structured evergreen feature

  • Courtyards and patios in large containers

  • Mixed borders for winter interest


How to Grow and Care for Your Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’

Soil – Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil but tolerates a variety of types, including chalky, sandy, or clay soils.

Light – Prefers full sun to partial shade. It maintains a dense habit even in moderately shaded locations.

Watering – Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and copes well with dry spells.

Maintenance:

  • Pruning – Trim once or twice a year to maintain a dense, neat shape, especially if used for hedging.

  • Mulching – Mulch annually to conserve moisture and improve soil quality.

  • Pest & Disease Resistance – Generally pest- and disease-resistant, though occasional scale insects or leaf spot may appear.

  • Cold Hardy – Hardy down to about -20°C, making it suitable for most temperate climates.


Perfect Plant Combinations

Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ pairs beautifully with other structured plants like boxwood, holly, and yew, and contrasts elegantly with softer perennials and grasses. Its dark foliage is also a stunning backdrop for colorful flowering shrubs like hydrangeas or camellias.


With its fine-textured leaves, polished structure, and year-round appeal, Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ is the perfect choice for gardeners seeking a sophisticated, resilient plant for hedging, screening, or standalone statement features. Easy to maintain yet beautifully architectural, it enhances any style of garden from formal to naturalistic.
