Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade – any area with about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight should suffice. When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s about three times the width of your plant’s root ball, and place your plant.

2. Watering: Once established, your Cherry Laurel is relatively drought-tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil about 2 or 3 inches down.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilizing your Cherry Laurel isn't necessary, but if you choose to do so, use a general purpose fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, once a year.

4. Pruning: You can trim your Cherry Laurel as often or as much as needed. To ensure it keeps producing flowers, trim once a year only, immediately after the flowering period.
