PLEASE NOTE: Plants shipped in winter and early spring may arrive dormant. Deciduous perennials lose their leaves or foliage during winter and may appear "lifeless", but will burst out with new growth in spring!
Portugal Laurel, Prunus lusitanica, is most often used as a privacy hedge, pruned into an ornamental evergreen tree or wind screen. Its tough nature can endure a wide array of harsh conditions including salt, heat and drought after establishment. Deep green foliage makes Portugal Laurel both a beautiful and multi-functional species. This variety of laurel has thinner attractive dark green glossy leaves and produces fragrant white flowers in late spring/early summer and then red/deep purple berries in the fall. Berries are NOT edible If a privacy screen isn't desired, feel free to use these tall shrubs along a sunny wall, or grouped together in a garden bed as a wonderful backdrop for lower growing shrubs and perennials.
Has a bushy growing habit reaching 25ft tall & 15ft wide
Grows in full sun/part shade in a variety of soils. Does well in harsh conditions where other plants might not survive while being more tolerant of heat, wind & draught once roots are established.
Deer resistant
Grows in zones 6-9
Shipping Methods
Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.
Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).
We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.
All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.

Second review
I panicked when I saw the top half of the laurels leafs wilted. I sent pictures in to customer support and they said it looked normal. But after looking it over again there's new life sprouting so I'm sure it's acclimating well now. The other plants I purchased were eaten by rabbits and deer but can't help that.
Hi Joe, It sounds like it may need more water or it's soil isn't well draining enough. I emailed you already about this! :) Anytime there is a question or concern please reach out to hello@thegreenhousepnw.com and we are happy to help!

Excellent Speciments
I have made purchases from other online plant providers and it's kind of hit or miss as to whether the orders would arrive in good condition or not. The items I ordered were in excellent condition and they are planted and thriving. I'll order from The Greenhouse again in the future.

Arrived healthy and beautiful. Quite impressive-it looked like I had just gone to the garden center down the road instead of being shipped all the way to Ohio.

Portugal Laurel from our online shop
Plants arrived in great condition. They were unpacked and given water immediately. They were planted in soil mixed with black forest soil conditioner. I expect to see thriving plants in no time.
