Greentorch Laurel is a compact, upright cherry laurel perfect for smaller gardens, growing up to 7 feet tall without the need for pruning. Its dense, glossy green evergreen leaves create a robust appearance. The white flowers are subtle compared to its notable predecessor, 'Otto Luyken.' This resilient shrub thrives in any soil and climate, tolerating full sun or partial shade. Ideal for hedges, it also works well as a structural element at the back of flower beds or as a standalone specimen in larger garden spaces.
