A new variety of the ever-popular Cherry Laurel, ‘Novita’ boasts a far hardier twist, withstanding cold and tough winter conditions well below freezing.
This is a bushy and evergreen shrub you can really rely upon, remaining coated in interest regardless of the season. The leaves are big, green, and glossy – just what you want from a decorative garden shrub, with the potential to grow tree-like, up to an impressive 5m tall. Plus, this isn't a plant you'll be waiting around to feel impressed by, as it arrives as an established statement plant, already more than 1m tall.
Whether planted en masse as hedging or alone as a shapely specimen plant, the hardy ‘Novita’ Prunus laurocerasus is a versatile treat and a perfect addition to more-or-less any garden scheme, size, or style.
Spring brings a scattering of dainty white flowers, regularly followed by clusters of ornamental, dark red berries in autumn, which birds will happily pick off the plant. What’s more, this variety has been labelled by the RHS as a ‘Plant for Pollinators’ due to its ability to attract the attention of bees, butterflies, and all manner of other beneficial insects.
Supplied as an established plant in a 18L pot, roughly 125-150cm tall, ready to plant.

Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
