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 fast-growing, easy to maintain, and evergreen hedging, look no further than a classic laurel hedge. Best used to produce hedges from 1m to 3m tall and quickly forming a dense canopy of shiny green leaves, Laurel grows at 30-40cm (1ft) per year, but will not take over. 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. Plant 3 plants per linear metre of hedge for best results. 10 pot grown plants supplied in 9cm pots.
