    Portuguese Laurel (Prunus Lusitanica) 1-1.2m 15 Litre

    Product Details

    💰 SUPERB VALUE — GAIN 2 SIZES IN A SEASON

    ✓ Buy now at this price — add 30–40cm this year
    ✓ Larger pot than competitors — thicker, denser plants, not spindly nursery stock
    ✓ Already over a metre tall — immediate presence from day one
    ✓ Plant any time of year — no seasonal restrictions


    🌿 Portuguese Laurel (Prunus Lusitanica) – 1–1.2m Planted Height | 15 Litre Pot

    Outstanding value at this size — already over a metre tall, in a generous 15 litre pot, and ready to jump two size brackets within a season.

    At 1–1.2m in planted height (excluding pot), these are substantial, well-established specimens. Supplied in a generous 15 litre pot — significantly larger than many competitors — meaning a bigger root system, thicker stems, and denser foliage from the start. With growth of 30–40cm per year, you'll quickly have a plant that would cost significantly more to buy at that size today.

    ⚠️ Unlike many suppliers, all heights quoted by Hedging Supplies are the true planted height — excluding pot height. What you see is what you get.

    Ready for Immediate Dispatch

    Why Buy Now at This Size?

    • Exceptional value: Buy at today's price and gain 30–40cm per year — jumping size brackets without paying the premium.

    • Larger pot than competitors: Our 15 litre pot means more root mass, thicker plants, and faster establishment — not the spindly stock you'll find elsewhere.

    • Honest planted height: 1–1.2m is the plant height only — many suppliers include the pot. We don't.

    • Immediate presence: At over a metre, these plants make an impact from day one.

    • Year-round planting: Pot grown — plant any time, unlike seasonal rootball.

    • More refined than Cherry Laurel: Smaller, darker, glossier leaves — a more elegant, formal appearance.

    • Exceptionally tough: Tolerates coastal exposure, pollution, wind, chalk, and clay.

    • Low maintenance: One trim per year keeps it immaculate.

    🌱 Care Instructions

    • Light: Full sun to partial shade.

    • Water: Water regularly until established; drought tolerant once settled.

    • Soil: Most well-drained soil types.

    • Pruning: Trim once a year in late summer.

    • Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK including coastal sites.

    Planting Tips

    💧 Watering – Essential for Success

    Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.

    Rootballed Plants

    Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.

    Potted Plants

    Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.

    Trees & Tall Plants

    When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
