Because thislaurelgrows quickly and spreads widely, we recommend pruning this hedge at least twice a year. The best time to prune your laurel hedge is in the spring (March through May) and in the fall (September through November).
This laurel has one flowering season. This occurs in the spring, around April or May. At that time, small white flowers appear among the green leaves. These flowers attract butterflies. Red berries may also appear on the branches during this time. These berries, in turn, attract birds.
