Prunus lusitanica – Portuguese Laurel Bulk Hedging
Prunus lusitanica is the premium alternative to cherry laurel — more refined, more versatile, and increasingly the first choice for discerning gardeners and landscapers. Its smaller, darker, glossier leaves create a denser, more elegant hedge, while its tolerance of exposed and coastal conditions makes it one of the most adaptable evergreen hedging plants available. This 5 litre bulk buy offers excellent value for establishing a high-quality boundary at scale.
What’s Included
This listing is for a batch of 25 plants, each supplied in a 5 litre pot. Pot-grown stock ensures strong, well-developed root systems and reliable establishment whether planted in autumn or spring.

- Tolerates full sun to full shade and most well-drained soils
- Hardy throughout the UK

Wildlife & Ecological Notes
Fragrant white flower racemes in late spring to early summer are highly attractive to bees, hoverflies, and other pollinators. Small dark berries in autumn provide a valuable food source for blackbirds, thrushes, and other berry-feeding birds. The dense evergreen canopy provides year-round shelter and nesting cover for garden birds.
