Zimmerman Cherry Laurel (PRUNUS L. ZIMMERMAN)

Zimmerman Cherry Laurel is a tidy, evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers in spring. Its petite size—just 2 feet tall and wide—makes it perfect for low hedges, patio planters, or foundation accents. In spring, it puts on a show with creamy white flower spikes, and in summer, black berries feed the birds. It’s low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and holds its color year-round. Whether lining a path or tucked into a container, this shrub brings fragrance, texture, and lasting greenery to your space.
