Brenelia is a very hardy form of Portuguese laurel that also grows a little faster, in a very tidy manner with much redder stems. 

Brenelia has a graceful appearance with purple shoots and finer leaves. They grow fairly swiftly and require trimming once or twice a year to keep them in top shape. Plant in any soil except for waterlogged. Feed them now and then to keep the foliage luxurious.

Prunus lusitanica 'Brenelia' is an evergreen shrub known for its dark green, glossy leaves and upright growth, making it ideal for hedging and adding structure to gardens.

The Prunus Lusitanica Brenelia is an attractive evergreen shrub or small tree known for its dense, glossy, dark green foliage and elegant appearance. This Portuguese Laurel variety is a fantastic choice for hedging or as a standalone specimen, providing year-round interest with its lustrous leaves and clusters of fragrant, white flowers that bloom in late spring. The flowers are followed by small, red berries that mature to a deep purple, adding an extra layer of seasonal appeal.

Where to Position Your Prunus Lusitanica Brenelia

Prunus Lusitanica Brenelia thrives best in full sun to partial shade. It should be planted in well-drained, fertile soil to ensure robust growth and maintain its vibrant foliage. This hardy shrub is adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including chalky, loamy, and clay soils, and can tolerate urban pollution, making it an excellent choice for both rural and urban gardens. Regular watering during the establishment phase and during dry periods will help keep the plant healthy and vigorous.

Growth and Maintenance

Prunus Lusitanica Brenelia is prized for its dense, bushy habit and moderate growth rate, typically reaching a height of 3-4 metres. To maintain its shape and promote dense growth, regular pruning is recommended. Light pruning in early spring or late summer will help keep the plant tidy and encourage fresh, new growth. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, further supporting its healthy development.
