Green Leylandii – Fast-Growing Evergreen Hedging for Instant Privacy (7.5-Litre Pot, 130–150cm)

Green Leylandii (Cupressocyparis leylandii) is one of the most popular choices for creating a dense, fast-growing evergreen hedge. Supplied here in a 7.5-litre pot at 130–150cm tall, these well-established plants offer immediate height and structure, making them ideal for starting a privacy screen or windbreak that fills in quickly. With lush, rich green foliage that stays vibrant year-round, Leylandii provides excellent visual screening, noise reduction, and shelter in a variety of garden settings.

This versatile conifer is prized for its vigorous growth, low-maintenance care, and adaptability to trimming, making it perfect for both formal and informal hedging.

Evergreen Coverage Year-Round – Retains rich green colour and dense foliage even in winter for continuous privacy and shelter.

Low-Maintenance & Versatile – Suitable for hedges, screens, windbreaks, or clipped architectural shapes.

Planting & Care Guide

Position: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; prefers an open site with good airflow for healthy growth.

Soil: Grows well in a wide range of soils, including clay, chalk, and sandy soils, provided they are well-drained. Avoid poorly drained or waterlogged ground.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and regularly through the first year to establish deep roots. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.

Maintenance & Pruning:

Pruning:
→ For hedges, trim 2–3 times per year during the growing season (April–September) to maintain height and encourage dense, bushy growth.
→ Avoid cutting back into old wood, as Leylandii does not regenerate from bare branches.

Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy, vigorous growth.

Perfect Uses & Combinations

Green Leylandii is ideal for screening unsightly views, creating privacy, or protecting gardens from wind. It provides a rich green backdrop for flowering shrubs, perennials, or formal planting schemes. Underplant with shade-tolerant plants like ferns, hellebores, or ivy at the hedge base for a layered, natural look.

Tip: Keep Leylandii neatly trimmed for a crisp, formal hedge, or prune more lightly for a softer, natural appearance.
