Prunus laurocerasus 'Elly', commonly known as Elly Cherry Laurel, is a compact and evergreen shrub from the Prunus genus. This variety is highly regarded for its dense, glossy foliage and its suitability as a low-maintenance hedge or ornamental shrub.

Key Characteristics:

• Foliage: 'Elly' has dark green, leathery, glossy leaves that retain their vibrant appearance throughout the year. The leaves are lance-shaped, providing a dense, lush, and attractive backdrop in gardens.

• Flowering: In spring, Prunus laurocerasus 'Elly' produces small, creamy white, fragrant flowers in upright spikes. Although the flowers are not as showy as some other plants, they provide a subtle visual interest and attract pollinators like bees.

• Growth Habit: This cultivar has a compact, dense, and bushy growth habit, typically reaching around 1.5 to 2 meters in height and spread. It is well-suited for low hedges, borders, or as an evergreen screen, providing year-round privacy and structure in gardens.

• Hardiness: Prunus laurocerasus 'Elly' is hardy down to about -10°C, making it suitable for most temperate climates. It can tolerate colder temperatures but may require some protection in extreme winters.

• Cultivation Requirements: This cherry laurel prefers well-drained, fertile soil and can tolerate a wide range of soil types. It thrives in partial to full shade but can also adapt to sunnier spots, though some protection from hot, direct sunlight is recommended in warmer climates. Regular pruning helps maintain its compact shape, especially when used for hedging.

Prunus laurocerasus 'Elly' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, compact evergreen shrub that provides privacy and structure. Its glossy foliage, subtle flowers, and dense growth habit make it an ideal option for hedges, borders, or as a screening plant.
