{"id":4289980498054,"title":"Otto Luyken Cherry Laurel Shrub","handle":"flowering-cherry-laurel-hedge","description":"The Flowering Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus ‘Otto Luyken’) is a handsome, upright evergreen shrub for woodland gardens with filtered sunlight or dappled shade. Glossy, medium green foliage with a refined look on a dense, vase-shaped form that has a layered appearance. Stalks of fragrant white flowers appear in spring. Hardier than dwarf English laurel. Use at the edges of the woodland garden or anywhere it will receive dappled shade. This broadleaf evergreen is good for quickly screening out areas without blocking the view. Plant a row to cover the potting area or the compost pile in the garden. Lower growth tends to be looser, making it well-suited for wider beds with low to medium shrubs planted at the foreground, if the desired effect is dense foliage from top to the ground. Grows at a fast rate, reaching 6 to 10 feet tall and wide within 8 years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in full sun to partial shade, in well drained moist soil.
