Description
The Golden Leylandii (Cupressocyparis leylandii ‘Castlewellan Gold’) is a highly popular choice for creating vibrant evergreen hedging. Supplied at a strong height of 250–300cm, these plants offer an instant impact, with their dense golden-green foliage bringing both beauty and privacy to your garden.
Golden Leylandii thrives in a variety of soils, including normal, clay, and chalk, and is well suited to both full sun and partial shade. Its hardy nature makes it an excellent option for exposed or inland locations, providing year-round colour and shelter. With an average growth rate of 30–60cm per year, it quickly establishes into a reliable screen while remaining easy to maintain at a manageable height of 2–5 metres.
This fast-growing conifer is particularly valued for its versatility—whether you want to define boundaries, create windbreaks, or simply enjoy a lush evergreen backdrop. To achieve the best results, plant 1 per metre for a dense hedge, or increase to 2 per metre for rapid coverage.
Strong, resilient, and low maintenance, the Golden Leylandii is a practical and attractive solution for long-lasting garden structure and privacy.
