Notes
'JONG1' English laurel (Prunus laurocerasus 'JONG1') is a tree for hedges, privacy screens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. This evergreen grows rapidly into a dense shape and tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Smooth hydrangea, Christmas fern, and Nelly Moser clematis.
