Spotted Laurel

Large, lustrous, ivory-speckled, dark green leaves and small clusters of red-purple flowers in April and May. This yellow-spotted laurel is perfect for illuminating partly shady areas of the garden. Coping well with urban-pollution and salt-laden air it makes a beautiful, bright, evergreen hedge for an urban or coastal site.Position: full sun to full shadeSoil: any garden soil (except waterlogged soils)Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: April and May Flower colour: red-purpleOther features: Female plantHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: To promote bushy growth cut back in spring.
