This more restrained variety is ideal for smaller gardens or tighter spaces where the vigour of 'Rotundifolia' might be excessive. It makes a neat, manageable formal hedge or screen and requires less frequent clipping to maintain its shape. In spring, white flower spikes attract bees, and the subsequent berries provide autumn food for birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e compact and manageable, less vigorous than standard laurel, suitable for smaller gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e bees visit the flowers; birds eat the berries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at 10 years:\u003c\/b\u003e 3m x 2m (unclipped)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e full sun to full shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e neutral; adaptable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e moist but well-drained\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e cold hardy to -20°C\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coletta \u0026 Tyson","offers":[{"title":"3 litre","offer_id":57007698149754,"sku":"COL-3L-PRU-SOFX1","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0320\/6758\/4138\/files\/Prunus-laurocerasus-Sofia-3L-Cedar-Nursery-Surrey-1.png?v=1772210587","url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/ct-prunus-laurocerasus-sofia-shrubs","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
