Prunus laurocerasus ´Otto Luyken Laurel´
Cherry Laurel
Zone 5-8
3"-6"/year
4´-6´/ 10 years
globose, compact
We shear this slow growing plant very tightly several times a year, to give it a full bodied appearance. It needs to be pruned occasionally to keep its form as it matures. It makes an attractive broad hedge, or single specimen. The green leaves proide a nice backdrop for the small, white springtime flowers. The ´Otto Luyken´ is a wonderful companion to the various colors and shapes of the annuals and perennials in the garden.
