Browse Portuguese Laurel hedging plants for refined evergreen screening, structured boundaries and year-round foliage. Portuguese Laurel, botanically known as Prunus lusitanica, has smaller glossy leaves than Cherry Laurel and can be clipped into a neat, formal hedge. Compare the available supplied heights and prices below to choose plants suited to your garden and required level of initial coverage.
Portuguese Laurel is an evergreen shrub commonly planted to create neatly maintained hedges, screens and structured garden boundaries. Its smaller, glossy leaves provide a more refined appearance than the broader foliage of Cherry Laurel.
Our Portuguese Laurel range includes plants in several starting heights. This allows you to choose between a smaller plant for gradual establishment and a taller specimen for greater presence at planting.
Portuguese Laurel may be suitable when you want:
Its more moderate growth can suit customers who prefer a controlled hedge and are not relying on the fastest possible establishment.
Portuguese Laurel has smaller foliage and a more refined appearance. It is often selected for formal or structured planting where the finished shape is particularly important.
Cherry Laurel has larger leaves and typically establishes more quickly. It may be preferable when vigorous growth and dense coverage are the main priorities.
Both are evergreen and can be maintained as garden hedges. The right choice depends on your preferred foliage, the desired rate of establishment and the amount of trimming you are prepared to undertake.
Taller Portuguese Laurel plants can provide more immediate structure, while smaller sizes may be easier to handle and establish. The supplied height does not represent the final height of the hedge.
Before ordering, consider:
Check the relevant product page for its supplied dimensions and recommended planting density before calculating quantities.
Prepare the planting area thoroughly and ensure the soil drains adequately. Plants should be positioned at the spacing recommended for the selected product and intended result.
Water newly planted Portuguese Laurel regularly while it establishes, particularly during warm and dry periods. Continue monitoring soil moisture rather than relying only on rainfall.
