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 Skip 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. Pruning: You have numerous options for pruning Skip Laurel. First of all, you never have to prune it if you prefer the natural shape of the plants in your landscape. Or you can shape a hedge of these plants in early spring into any shape or size you want. It's a best practice not to prune plants during the heat of summer or during a season of drought because pruning can stress them at these times. The ideal time to prune Skip Laurel is in late spring to early summer. This way, the new growth will fill in rapidly.
