Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) – Dense, Glossy Evergreen Hedging

Cherry Laurel is a vigorous, evergreen shrub prized for its large, glossy green leaves and excellent screening ability. One of the most popular choices for hedging in the UK, it creates a dense, year-round barrier that offers both privacy and noise reduction. Fast-growing and highly adaptable, it thrives in sun or shade and is well-suited to formal or informal gardens alike.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

• New leaves emerge a vibrant, fresh green, quickly filling out any gaps.

• Small, upright white flower spikes appear in mid to late spring, lightly scented and attractive to pollinators.

Summer:

• Retains dense, dark green foliage.

• Thick, glossy leaves reflect light, providing a bold, lush appearance even in dry or shaded conditions.

Autumn:

• Small red berries may develop from earlier flowers, turning black as they mature.

• Evergreen leaves continue to offer full screening.

Winter:

• Maintains full cover and glossy green foliage throughout winter.

• Offers strong wind protection and visual interest in even the coldest months.
