Jade Turtle™ Cherry Laurel (Prunus)

(Cherry Laurel) Compact, glossy, and incredibly versatile, Prunus Jade Turtle™ Cherry Laurel is a modern evergreen that fits beautifully into today's landscapes. Its deep green, leathery leaves stay lush year-round, new growth adds shades of orange and lime green, bringing dependable structure and rich color to garden beds, borders, and foundation plantings. This refined variety has a neat, rounded form, typically growing 3 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or as a low hedge. In spring, Jade Turtle™ produces clusters of fragrant white flowers that attract pollinators and add a delicate touch to its dense, polished foliage. Unlike traditional cherry laurels that can become large and unruly, this selection maintains a tidy shape with minimal pruning and offers the same durability and classic appeal in a compact size. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to different soil types, as long as they're well-drained. It's also deer resistant, drought tolerant once established, and perfect for adding evergreen texture to mixed borders or containers. If you're after a low-maintenance shrub that stays neat, glossy, and green all year, Jade Turtle™ Cherry Laurel delivers polished beauty in a perfectly manageable package. A Proven Winners® Color Choice Shrub!
