About Leylandii Hedging 20 Litre Pot 225/250cm
Cupressocyparis leylandii
The UK’s fastest-growing evergreen hedge for instant privacy
Leylandii is one of the most popular and effective evergreen conifers for creating a tall, dense hedge or windbreak. Known for its incredibly fast growth—up to 1 metre per year—it’s the go-to choice for instant impact and year-round screening.
Its rich green, feathery foliage forms a thick barrier that blocks noise, wind, and unwanted views, making it ideal for larger gardens, roadside planting, or creating boundaries. With regular pruning 1–2 times a year, Leylandii is easy to manage and can be kept to your desired height and width.
