Notes
'Nana' English laurel (Prunus laurocerasus 'Nana') is a shrub 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. It grows at a rapid rate and keeps a dense, evergreen habit. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Japanese forest grass, Smooth hydrangea, and Lily of the valley.
