Buy Cherry Laurel Hedging Plants

Cherry Laurel, botanically known as Prunus laurocerasus, is an evergreen shrub commonly planted to create dense hedges, garden boundaries and privacy screens. Its broad, glossy leaves provide year-round foliage and help produce a substantial living barrier. Our Cherry Laurel plants are available in several supplied heights, allowing you to choose between a smaller starting plant or a taller, more established hedge plant. Check the listings above for current sizes, prices and availability.

Why Choose Cherry Laurel for Hedging?

Cherry Laurel is often selected where dense foliage and relatively quick establishment are important. Under suitable growing conditions and with appropriate care, it can produce approximately 30–60cm of growth per year. Actual growth will depend on the plant, soil, position, weather and aftercare. Cherry Laurel hedging may be suitable for:
  • Creating evergreen privacy between properties
  • Screening overlooked areas
  • Forming a substantial garden boundary
  • Introducing year-round green foliage
  • Filling a wider planting area

What Height of Cherry Laurel Should You Buy?

The right starting height depends on how quickly you want the hedge to provide a visible boundary, your budget and the accessibility of the planting area. Taller Cherry Laurel plants provide greater initial presence, while smaller plants can be easier to handle and establish. The supplied height is not the plant’s eventual mature height. Cherry Laurel can become a large shrub if left untrimmed, so allow enough room for future growth and regular maintenance. Before ordering, measure the length of the proposed hedge and check the planting-density guidance on the relevant product page. Spacing can vary depending on the supplied plant size and the speed at which you want the plants to form a continuous screen.

Where Can Cherry Laurel Be Planted?

Cherry Laurel can be grown in a range of garden situations, provided the soil drains adequately and the plants receive appropriate watering while establishing. It is commonly considered for both lighter positions and areas receiving some shade. Site conditions vary, so check the individual product information before ordering. Consider the available space, soil, drainage, exposure and access for future trimming.

Cherry Laurel or Portuguese Laurel?

Cherry Laurel has larger, broader leaves and is generally chosen when dense coverage and relatively vigorous establishment are priorities. Portuguese Laurel has smaller leaves and a more refined appearance. It normally grows more moderately, which can suit customers who prefer a formal hedge requiring more controlled development.
