This superior form of laurel is distinguished by its smaller, glossier, oval leaves held on beautiful deep red stems, giving it a more refined look than common laurel. The dense growth habit and deep colour make it a superb choice for high-quality screening and hedges. In summer, it produces small, sweetly scented white flowers on long racemes, which are attractive to bees and are followed by small, non-toxic red berries that turn black and are popular with birds.

It is highly versatile, tolerating a wide range of conditions, including heavy pruning, deep shade, and even chalky soil. It can be left to grow as an elegant small tree or clipped formally into a dense hedge. To ensure the plant establishes a strong and extensive root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support vigorous establishment and the density required for hedging, apply Levington Fish, Blood & Bone in early spring.
