Hedging - Laurel

Spring Reach Nursery stocks an extensive range of laurels (cherry laurel, Portuguese laurel) for evergreen hedging. We offer a large variety of sizes of laurel catering to all budgets. We deliver direct to you, delivering all over the Southeast. We are a local nursery, close to Guildford and 5 minutes from RHS Wisley, with the best selection of hedging plants in the South.

Laurels - such as Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus rotundifolia) or Portuguese laurel (Prunus lusitanica) - are dependable evergreen hedges that are the perfect choice for instant screening and providing privacy. Laurels are hardy, frost-resilient plants that are upright in habit and can comfortably grow in a variety of soil types. Laurels used in evergreen hedging can serve as a windbreak, reduce noise pollution, and protect the garden from adverse weather. Laurels also have the added benefit of being very fast-growing in nature. These qualities make the plant an exceptional choice to serve as a reliable and low-maintenance hedging plant.

Laurel hedging should ideally be planted between autumn and late winter but are available to buy year-round from Spring Reach Nursery.
