Free specialist delivery on qualifying orders: At Harrod Outdoors, we take pride in delivering top-quality plants directly to your doorstep. Our delivery options are tailored to the size and type of plants you order, ensuring they arrive in excellent condition and ready to transform your outdoor space. We offer free specialist delivery on qualifying orders across most of the UK.
Typical lead time – around 3–4 weeks: Most orders take approximately 3–4 weeks to prepare and deliver. This time allows us to carefully source from our extensive range, prepare your plants to our high standards, and ensure everything arrives in peak condition.
Kerbside delivery only: All deliveries are kerbside, meaning your plants will be unloaded at the front of your property (driveway or kerbside) and will not be carried beyond this point. It is your responsibility to move the plants to their final location once delivered.
Safe place required: Please specify a safe place for box, pallet or van deliveries in your order notes. If none is provided, drivers will leave your order where they deem reasonable. Pallet and large tree deliveries require flat, solid access such as tarmac, concrete or brickweave – we cannot deliver onto gravel, shingle, grass or public roads or pathways.
Be available on the day of delivery: It is essential that you are contactable on your provided phone number in case the driver needs to reach you. If access is restricted, no safe place is available, or the driver is instructed not to leave the order, delivery will fail and additional delivery charges will apply or you may need to collect from the local depot.
Plan ahead: We recommend not booking landscapers or gardeners solely based on estimated delivery dates, as occasional delays can occur due to factors beyond our control. For full details, view our Delivery Policy or contact us for advice before ordering.
If you need help selecting the right plants or have specific delivery requirements, our friendly team is here to assist. You can trust us to handle your order with expertise every step of the way. View our Delivery Policy or Contact Us for more information.
Novita Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus ‘Novita’) is a hardy evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green foliage that stays vibrant year-round. It is a relatively new cultivar of cherry laurel, bred for improved hardiness and resistance to common diseases. In spring, it produces clusters of small, fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by small black berries in autumn. Its resilience and fast growth make it a popular choice for UK gardens.
Novita Laurel is fast-growing, adding approximately 30–60 cm (1–2 feet) per year. If left unpruned, it can reach a height of 4–8 meters (13–26 feet) with a similar spread over 20 or more years. However, its growth is easy to control through regular pruning, allowing you to maintain a size and shape that fits your garden perfectly.
Novita Laurel thrives in the UK’s temperate climate. It prefers moist but well-drained soil and is adaptable to clay, loam, and sandy soils, with pH levels ranging from acidic to alkaline. It grows best in full sun to partial shade but can also tolerate full shade, making it a versatile option for various garden settings. Its hardiness means it can withstand frosty winters and windy conditions common in the UK.
Yes, Novita Laurel is an excellent choice for hedging and screening. Its dense, evergreen foliage creates an effective barrier for privacy, wind protection, and noise reduction. Whether you prefer a neat, formal hedge or a more naturalistic screen, Novita Laurel responds well to regular pruning. Its rapid growth ensures that it quickly establishes and fills in gaps, providing year-round coverage.
All parts of the Novita Laurel, including its leaves, berries, and stems, contain cyanogenic compounds, which can be toxic if ingested in large quantities. While this is unlikely to pose significant risks with proper garden placement, it’s best to plant Novita Laurel away from areas frequently accessed by pets or young children. Pruning and removing fallen leaves or berries regularly can also minimize risks.
