Prunus - Laurel, often referred to simply as "Laurel," holds a steadfast place in British gardens, prized for its lush evergreen foliage, adaptability to various conditions, and ability to create handsome hedges and screens that provide year-round structure and privacy.
While the name "Laurel" might conjure images of ancient Greece and Rome, these particular laurels, belonging to the Prunus genus, hail from regions of Europe and Asia. Their popularity in British gardens stems from their resilience, tolerance for shade, and ability to thrive in a variety of soil types, making them a reliable choice for gardeners across the UK.
Their most striking feature is undoubtedly their foliage: glossy, evergreen leaves, often leathery in texture, that create a dense, verdant backdrop throughout the year. These leaves, typically lance-shaped and ranging in colour from deep green to variegated forms with creamy-white margins, provide a sense of lushness and permanence to the garden, even during the dormant months.
In spring, Prunus - Laurel often reveals another layer of charm with its delicate, fragrant flowers. These small, cup-shaped blooms, typically white or cream in colour, appear in clusters, adding a touch of subtle beauty and attracting pollinators with their sweet scent.
Whether you're seeking a dense hedge to define boundaries, a verdant screen to create privacy, or a handsome evergreen shrub to add structure and year-round interest to a shady corner, Prunus - Laurel offers a versatile and reliable choice for the British garden.
