The Otto Luyken English Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus 'Otto Luyken') is a shrub cherished for its glossy foliage and compact growth habit. This cultivar typically reaches a height of 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters) and has a slightly wider spread of about 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters). Its low, spreading form and lush dark leaves make it an excellent choice for ground cover, borders, and foundation plantings.
Otto Luyken English Laurel is ideally suited for zones 6 to 8. The plant's dark maroon to red, glossy leaves serve as an attractive backdrop for its clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom in late spring. The flowers are followed by small black fruits that add further visual appeal. With its ability to thrive in shaded to partially shaded areas and its relatively low maintenance needs, the Otto Luyken English Laurel is a versatile and dependable choice for landscapes seeking a touch of evergreen beauty and structure.
