Prunus laurocerasus Hedge Plants Description Although primarily known for its stunning, rich green foliage, Cherry Laurel hedging also produces delicate white flowers in the spring and festive red berries throughout the winter, adding year-round interest to your garden.

Its adaptability and striking appearance make Cherry Laurel one of the most popular types of Laurel hedging. Cherry Laurel hedging has a relatively fast growth rate of around 30 - 60cm per year, making it an economical way to achieve height.
