Super cost-effective Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ (Hedging)Laurel, Cherry Laurel

‘Novita’ is a superb Prunus, that is ready to bloom from March until May. It generates an abundance of vibrant white flowers, that cloak a dense growing habit of deep green foliage. Easy to care for and boasting glossy black berries in the Autumn, be sure to grow in cottage and low maintenance themed landscapes and use as a striking hedge/privacy screen. Happy to develop in dappled shade, watch it thrive to a height of 5m and spread to around 4m. A relatively new variety of laurel, Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’ has proven to be an extremely hardy cultivar, being far more resilient in colder weather than its relatives. Grow Cherry Laurel plants in sun or shade, in any moderately fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant Prunus shrubs at the same depth as they were planted in their pots. Backfill the planting hole and water well to settle the soil. When planting a Cherry Laurel hedge, position the individual plants at a distance of 75cm (2’,6”) apart.
