Growing and Planting Tips

To get the most from your Portuguese Laurel, plant it in well-drained soil and water regularly until established. Prunus lusitanica thrives with an annual trim to encourage bushy, healthy growth and to keep your hedges looking crisp and neat. It’s wind-hardy and copes with coastal conditions, so you can confidently buy Prunus lusitanica for use throughout much of the country.

Great Companions for Portuguese Laurel

Enhance your garden’s visual appeal by pairing Prunus lusitanica with other showstopping trees and shrubs.
