Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) hedge plants

Portuguese laurel hedge plants are a versatile choice for an evergreen hedge, providing year-round greenery. With proper care, they can thrive in various conditions and support local biodiversity. Tips for Care: • Portuguese laurel hedge plants can thrive in both shade and full sun and are suitable for various soil types and pH levels. • They prefer well-draining soil and don’t like very wet conditions. • Water young plants regularly in their first year of growth. • While they are Mediterranean plants, Portuguese laurels can withstand temperatures as low as -23°C. • Pruning is typically done in late spring or summer when new growth appears. This helps encourage bushier growth. • Clear the area of weeds before planting to reduce competition for nutrients. • When planting, dig a hole deep enough to cover the roots, being careful not to damage them. • Walk the soil around the newly planted hedge to remove air pockets. • Yellowing leaves can indicate stress, often caused by overwatering or underwatering. €5 each or €4 each if over 100 purchased
