Otto Luyken Laurel

This is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its glossy dark green leaves and fragrant, upright white flower spikes that bloom in spring. Its tidy, mounded habit makes it ideal for low hedges, foundation plantings, and mass plantings in both sun and shade. Drought-tolerant once established, this laurel provides year-round structure and privacy while staying low-maintenance and attractive throughout the season.
