Few plants make as fine an evergreen hedge as Portuguese laurel, yet we are always surprised not to see these planted more often, as they are easy and versatile, and stand extreme summer heat and spells of drought brilliantly when established. They also cope well with UK winters and do really well on chalk soils. The rich, dark-green leathery leaves are red-tinged; in spring new shoots are bright green and superbly lustrous. These plants stand trimming well and soon make a tight, dense hedge, sharp enough for the most formal areas. This is a plant to choose if you want a hedge 1-3m tall; if you relax your pruning, plants may also bear spikes of white flowers in early summer which attract pollinators. Tough, easy and refined, we couldn’t recommend this hedge more highly; it’s one we really love. Prunus lusitanica ‘Angustifolia’ holds an Award of Garden Merit (AGM) from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) which is given only to the best garden plants.
