A compact cherry laurel, 'Otto Luyken' forms a thick, compact barrier of shiny, deep green leaves making it ideal for low hedges and groundcover. If you need low-growing, easy to maintain and evergreen hedging, look no further than a classic Laurel Hedge. Compact and spreading, 'Otto Luyken' quickly forms a dense canopy of shiny green leaves that looks immaculate all year round. Easy to grow and maintain, just trim to shape and height twice a year. Suitable for planting all year round as it is pot grown, for the quickest and most successful establishment. Blooming in March and April, Cherry Laurel produces candles of fragrant, dainty white blossom which in summer is followed by fruits that resemble cherries, turning from red to black as they mature. Ornamental and evergreen, this perfect little laurel will also grow in shade making it indispensable for many gardens. A great alternative to the traditional box hedge, this slow growing (just 10-20cm/year) laurel is easy to trim and lends itself perfectly to topiary. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, 40cm tall (inc pot), ready for planting out now, plants will reach approx 1m tall x 1.5m wide after 10 years and can be kept under control by clipping.
