Description
Prunus lusitanica, better known as Portuguese Laurel, is an evergreen hedge with a quietly polished air. Its glossy, dark green leaves are finer and more restrained than those of larger-leaved laurels, giving it a composed look that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary gardens.
Portuguese laurel hedging is chosen by those who like their privacy delivered neatly. It establishes readily and forms a dense, upright hedge that screens thoroughly without feeling bulky or overbearing. Fresh, lighter growth appears in spring, lifting the overall look, while the evergreen foliage keeps boundaries looking settled and well considered throughout the year.

How will my hedge arrive?
All our Hedging is supplied with a rootball wrapped in hessian as standard. Container grown options are also available out of season or upon request. We’ll be happy to discuss the best format for your needs before finalising your order.
Growing & Care
Portuguese laurel grows best in moist but well-drained soil and performs happily in full sun or partial shade. During the first growing season, regular watering helps the hedge settle in evenly, particularly along longer runs. Once established, Portuguese laurel is perfectly cooperative, responding well to routine trimming and maintaining a dense, upright habit without constant intervention.
Common Uses
Portuguese laurel hedging is commonly used for evergreen screening, boundary planting and privacy hedges where year-round coverage is essential. Its finer foliage makes it especially suitable for gardens where space is more considered, offering density without excessive visual weight. Over time, it forms a confident, tidy boundary that sits comfortably within both traditional and contemporary settings.
