Prunus laurocerasus v.14 h.100

As a compact shrub and fills in densely with leaves, this is an ideal border plant. Anywhere you need a hedge or an edge for a walkway, is a great choice. You can also grow it in a container and trim and diferent shapes. The leaves are large and glossy green, and the flowers bloom white with a pretty fragrance. Is pretty easy to care for once you have it established. It does prefer rich soil, so before planting, amend the soil with some compost. Make sure it will get some sun, but partial shade is fine. Water the shrubs daily or every few days until they get established and then weekly or as needed depending on rain conditions. For the first growing season, water deeply to help the roots grow and establish. The best pruning time is in the spring after flowering. Early spring is also a good time to fertilize this shrub.
