ABOUT THIS SHRUB: A naturally compact form of Carolina Cherry Laurel, this evergreen shrub matures smaller and more controlled than the standard species, typically reaching 6–12 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. Features glossy, dark green foliage with a subtle cherry-almond scent and produces small, creamy-white fragrant flower clusters from late winter through spring.

PERFECT FOR LANDSCAPING: A versatile evergreen shrub well suited for structured plantings, screens, and foundation plantings. Its naturally dense foliage provides reliable year-round greenery and visual structure, making it a strong choice for both residential landscapes and exposed garden settings.

NATURALLY LOW-MAINTENANCE: Adaptable and easy to grow once established, this shrub tolerates dry conditions and responds well to occasional pruning to maintain shape. Its evergreen habit and durable growth make it a dependable, low-effort option for long-term landscape performance.
