Are You Looking To Add Some Privacy Or A Touch Of Tropical Greenery To Your Garden?
Are you looking to add some privacy or a touch of tropical greenery to your garden? Look no further than laurels! Here are a few key things to know about these versatile evergreens:
Laurels are a great option for creating a privacy screen or adding a large evergreen to your garden.
The Portuguese laurels in particular are known for their glossy, tropical look and can tolerate lower light conditions than cedars.
When planting, space laurels about three feet apart. Portuguese laurels can grow up to 18 inches per year, while English laurels can reach up to two feet per year.
These plants can be pruned at any time, as long as it’s not too hot or too cold.
Laurels produce flowers in clusters or tentacles, but be sure to prune off the seeds as they are toxic to dogs and cats and can spread to unwanted areas.
So, if you’re looking to add a touch of evergreen elegance to your garden, give laurels a try.
