Portuguese Laurel – Elegant, Hardy Evergreen

Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusitanica) is prized for its deep green glossy foliage, rich bushy habit, and upright growth, making it perfect for evergreen hedging, windbreaks, or specimen planting. Hardy, fast-growing, and easy to maintain, it thrives in sun or partial shade and adapts well to most well-drained soils. In summer, mature plants may produce fragrant white flowers and occasional red berries, adding seasonal interest to your garden.
