Common Laurel 40/60cm Bare Root (Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia')

Prunus rotundifolia Common Laurel Hedging - Bareroot and Evergreen

Laurels are fast growing, vigorous, evergreen and excellent for hedging or privacy screening.  They have loads of tiny white flowers in vertical spikes in spring and early summer followed by shiny black fruit that birds love.  Pruning hard back will encourage laurel hedge plants to sprout back quickly with thicker growth.  Common Laurel hedge plants are perfect for smaller gardens as they are a more manageable plant..
