Further Information
Leylandii takes nutrients and moisture from the soil so there's a need for a space between the hedge and other shrubs. It likes sun or partial shade, well drained soil and is suitable for seaside gardens.
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Cupressocyparis 'Leylandii'
Leylandii, also known as Leyland Cypress, is a popular choice of hedge plant amongst those who recognise its superb attributes and are looking for a good hedge height on a small budget. Regular clipping of the mid-green, spray like citrus-scented foliage during midsummer and autumn, can turn Cupressocyparis leylandii into a magnificent, dense, formal garden hedge that is perfect for windbreak, noise reduction and privacy.
Leylandii is the fastest growing of all conifers growing up to 90cm per annum in optimal conditions. It can grow to be very tall indeed, so it is important to keep it to a reasonable height for ease of maintenance and neighbourly relations! However, with regular trimming this is actually very achievable and many people have beautiful Leylandii hedges that are easily maintained at around 5-6ft tall. Hedges Direct has advice available on our website to support, and you can call our team if you have any questions on 01257 263 873.
Hedges Direct also has Golden Leylandii available to buy online. Golden Leylandii is a brightly coloured hedging conifer that makes a fantastic alternative to the traditional Leylandii hedging. Read our conifer hedging guide for more information on this type of species.
If you are looking for a similar conifer appearance to Cupressocyparis leylandii that can be cut back into old wood, please consider Western Red Cedar. Alternatively you can view our range of conifer hedging plants here. If conifers aren't suitable for your garden type, Hedges Direct offers a wide range of evergreen plants and hedging.
In addition we also have a stunning range of beautifully scented fragrant hedging plants available plus shrubs suitable for exposed sites - ideal for those seaside gardeners.
