Dwarf English Laurel is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with a dense broad-spreading habit and dark green foliage. Upright panicle clusters of fragrant creamy white flowers bloom in spring are followed by small black drupes in summer. In warmer climates, flowers best in part sun and rich moist well-drained soils.
