Planting Instructions Planting and growing laurels is easy, if you follow these simple steps:

Dig a hole slightly larger than the roots. 

If you have poorer quality soil you may want to mix in some good quality compost with the soil you have removed from the hole.

Place the plant in the hole you have dug and carefully fill the soil around the plant, gently firm down the soil. 

Keep plants watered well, the soil must not be allowed to dry out and should always be moist/damp (even during the winter months)

There is no need to use stakes or canes to support the plant, unless the planting location is very exposed 

Typical spacing for laurels is 2 plants per meter, however this can be increased to 1 plant per meter if required. 

We guarantee our plants for 30 days after you received them.

When planting Laurels DO NOT:

Do not use any type of fertiliser, this can damage the young roots 

Do not steep the plant in water prior to planting Do not allow the plants to dry out after planting 

Transplant Shock

Sometimes bare root plants can get transplant shock when planted

They can look limp, leaves may turn yellow and they may lose leaves

This is fairly common and usually nothing to worry about

The plant is focusing all its energy on establishing its roots

You can help the plant establishing its roots by cutting the tops off the plants (cut around 25-30% off the top of the stem)

Plants can take several months to establish but will usually come back around a few months into the growing season

It's very rare for laurels to die and not eventually establish
