| Description | Unique spreading habit makes a lush, evergreen groundcover. Planted en masse, the shiny dark green foliage creates a clean, finished look under trees and large shrubs. This dwarf form of English laurel is rugged like its larger relatives, but does not flower or set seed. Takes shearing well. Works in poor urban soils, and dry shade. |
