Bay Laurel Hedge Plants Description

The Bay Laurel hedge is popular for its leaves that are commonly used during cooking, either dried or fresh from the garden. It will fill your garden with scent, as well as bringing privacy to your outdoor space throughout the year. You can find more herbaceous hedging in our edible hedging department.

Laurus nobilis prefers fertile, moist soil due to its Mediterranean heritage, flourishes in the sun and is resilient against droughts, but it should ideally be grown in a sheltered area to protect its delicate stem during the winter.

A slow-growing hedge, Bay Laurel will typically grow around 10-20cm per year and is easily maintained at 1-2m. It is a low-maintenance hedging plant, only requiring a light trim in summer to help it keep its shape.

If you are interested in filling your garden with fragrant Bay Laurel hedging plants, Hedges Direct has a range of other wonderfully scented fragrant hedging plants for you to browse.

Laurus nobilis is also a popular choice as a Topiary Standard, featuring a long stem and a round, leafy head, sometimes described as lollipop topiary.

Choose Bay Laurel Hedge root types

What are root types?

x

Root types explained.

  • Bare root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
