I stopped by SVH for advice on hedge plants. Stan really takes the time to figure out which types of hedges are right for you and gives you great advice. In the end, we chose Prunus Elly. It was delivered quickly, and upon delivery, they explained step by step how to plant it. We’re very satisfied!

Super beautiful plants that more than lived up to what was promised on the website—they were both taller and more beautiful. Superb customer service with quick answers to questions. Fast delivery of the plants to Denmark (don't be afraid to make a bank transfer—you won't get scammed here). The plants are growing fantastically
Thanks, Stan

We’re very pleased with this nursery! We received a beautiful proprietary variety: the Laurier ‘Elly’. The plants were of good quality, nice and full, and healthy. You can tell right away that they’re grown with a great deal of expertise and care.
In addition, the service was friendly and professional. Everything was delivered neatly, and they kept their promises. We are very happy with the results in our garden and can definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for high-quality plants and expert advice.

Bay Laurel ‘Otto Luyken’
The “Otto Luyken” laurel, also known in Latin as Prunus laurocerasus “Otto Luyken,” is one of the slowest-growing varieties of laurel. This makes the “Otto Luyken” ideal for creating a low hedge up to 150 cm in height. Are you looking for a tall laurel hedge? Then Laurel ‘Elly’ and Laurel ‘Novita’ are better choices!
In addition to being ideal for a low hedge, this variety of laurel is also perfect for filling in gaps. For example, if you need to fill an area under or around a tree, this variety will quickly form a dense clump.
A nice place to plant the “Otto Luyken”laurelis in the front yard. Since this plant doesn’t grow too tall, you can see over it from inside and enjoy a good view.
This species of laurel has two flowering periods. One is in the spring, around April/May. The other is immediately after summer, around August/September. After the second flowering period, berries may form on the plants. These berries, in turn, attract birds.
Because the hedge plant is a slow grower, you only need to prune the hedge or the border planting once. The best time to do this is in the spring (but no later than May) or in the fall (September through November). An added benefit is that the laurel produces very little pruning waste.
FAQ

A laurel grows quickly, so your hedge will close in fast and provide privacy in your garden. In addition, the hedge remains evergreen, and these plants require very little maintenance.
