Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This outstanding small shrub is incredibly useful in the landscape. Pretty but tough, this non-seeding (so non-invasive) selection is smaller than others reaching just 2' tall and spreading to 4-5' wide. This English Laurel tolerates poor soil and even dry shade! There isn't a more perfect plant for where a well-mannered groundcover or informal border is desired. S-Sh/M
