Planting a Golden Leylandii hedge

Golden Leylandii likes full sun or partial shade, and most soils other than wet sites. It is happy in a seaside garden. see our large selection of plants for exposed sites here.

Golden Leylandii will not regrow from old wood so its important to keep it trimmed regularly rather than allowing it to get out of control and then cutting back severely.

If you're looking for a hedging conifer that can be cut back into old wood, take a look at our choice of Western Red Cedar hedging.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Golden Leylandii should be pruned or trimmed during the Spring or Summer months, but avoid trimming during dry spells or when its very hot.
