This 6ft container-grown size is ideal for creating an established hedge without waiting for slower early-stage growth. It works well for defining boundaries, screening neighbouring properties or adding evergreen structure to garden spaces.

Portuguese Laurel provides a more refined leaf form while still delivering reliable coverage. Many people choose Portuguese Laurel as alternative to Yew, Leylandii or Laurel as it is faster growing than Yew (and still looks formal) but not as fast growing as Leylandii or Laurel. It can also be paired with other evergreen hedging plants for mixed planting schemes.

For best results, plant approximately 60cm apart when forming a hedge and water regularly during the first growing season to support strong root establishment. Once established, it is hardy, low maintenance and provides consistent year-round screening.
