This variety is widely considered superior to the common Cherry Laurel for formal situations. It has a tighter, naturally conical habit and smaller, darker leaves that resemble those of the Bay tree. The deep green foliage contrasts beautifully with the reddish-purple stems, adding a touch of class to any garden boundary. In early summer, it produces slender spikes of fragrant white flowers, followed by small red berries that turn black in autumn, providing food for birds. It is incredibly hardy and tolerates heat, wind, and chalky soils better than many other evergreens.
It clips beautifully, making it the ideal choice for formal topiary (like cones or standards) or a razor-sharp hedge. To ensure the plants establish a strong and extensive root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support strong structural growth and maintain the deep green colour of the foliage, apply Levington Fish, Blood & Bone in early spring.
