A dense, evergreen shrub, Thompson & Morgan Cherry Laurel ‘Etna’ is a popular hedging plant for almost any part of the garden, including shady areas, north-facing borders and coastal gardens. Smart, glossy and dense, its shiny leaves form a lovely backdrop for the creamy white flowers spikes in spring, which are highly attractive to pollinating insects. As flowers fade, glossy berries take their place in autumn, providing a valuable source of food for birds.

Incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compos to the soil prior to planning, and position the shrub at the same depth as it was planted in its pot.

Water Thompson & Morgan Cherry Laurel ‘Etna’ regularly throughout the growing season until fully established. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant in spring.
