Planting & Care Guide
Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade; thrives in an open site with good air circulation.
Soil: Grows well in well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soils, including clay and sandy ground. Avoid planting in poorly drained or waterlogged areas.
Watering: Water generously after planting and regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots; once established, drought-tolerant.
Maintenance & Pruning:
Pruning:
→ For hedges, trim 2–3 times per year between April and September to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
→ Avoid cutting back into old wood, as Leylandii does not regenerate from bare stems.
Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to promote vigorous, healthy growth.
Perfect Uses & Combinations
Leylandii is ideal for creating immediate privacy around patios, gardens, pools, or along property boundaries. It forms a dense, evergreen backdrop that beautifully complements flowering shrubs, perennials, or formal garden designs. Underplant with shade-tolerant groundcovers like hostas, ferns, or ivy for a layered, lush effect.
Tip: For a formal look, keep regularly clipped; for a naturalistic hedge, prune lightly and less frequently to allow a softer outline.
