Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia 12 Ltr

Better known as Cherry Laurel, Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' is one of the most trusted and widely planted evergreen shrubs for hedging and screening. Its large, glossy, dark green leaves form a dense, leathery backdrop of year-round foliage, giving gardens structure, privacy, and shelter whatever the season. This is a hardworking plant that has earned its RHS Award of Garden Merit for good reason.

In mid-spring, upright spikes of small, creamy white flowers appear against the deep green foliage, providing a valuable source of nectar for pollinating insects. Left unclipped, 'Rotundifolia' can grow into a substantial specimen shrub, but it responds equally well to regular trimming, making it just as suited to a tightly clipped formal hedge as to a more relaxed woodland or wildlife border.

Impressively adaptable, this cherry laurel copes well with both full sun and deep shade beneath established trees, and tolerates a wide range of soils, making it a reliable choice for difficult or exposed sites where other plants may struggle. Fast growing and low maintenance once established, it's a superb option for anyone wanting quick, dependable coverage.
