A hardy hedge that stands the test of winter
The Winter Pillar Laurel Bush is a fantastic addition to any landscape, offering both beauty and practicality. With its upright growth habit and glossy evergreen foliage, this plant creates a stunning visual barrier, perfect for hedging. Its cold hardiness surpasses that of the Schipkaensis Laurel, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to withstand even the toughest winters. The dense nature of its leaves provides not just aesthetic appeal but a sanctuary for local wildlife, enriching your garden's ecosystem.
Choosing this bush means investing in long-lasting greenery that will stand tall through the seasons. Its unique pillar-like structure lends elegance to any garden design while providing the ideal privacy screen or windbreak. Whether nestled in a sunny corner or lining your driveway, this laurel bush complements and enhances your outdoor space beautifully.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives partial to full sunlight. Dig a hole about twice the size of the root ball, and ensure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil mixed with compost for better growth.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, the Winter Pillar Laurel is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells.
3. Pruning: Prune in early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and encourage dense foliage. Remove any dead or crossed branches to ensure good airflow and health.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Follow package instructions for the correct dosage, and avoid over-fertilization.
