Prunus Otto Luycken

‘Otto Luyken’ is a dwarf cultivar of cherry laurel with a compact, mounding growth habit that makes it a favorite for formal and informal landscape designs. It features narrow, lance-shaped dark green leaves and remains dense and tidy without frequent pruning.

Reaching a mature size of 1–1.5 meters in height and 1.5–2 meters in spread, it’s perfect for:

• Low hedges or foundation plantings

• Ground cover in large beds

• Borders along walkways or driveways

• Understory planting beneath taller shrubs or trees

In spring, 'Otto Luyken' produces upright spikes of fragrant white flowers, which may be followed by small black fruits in late summer. Its evergreen foliage remains glossy and attractive throughout the year.

Key Benefits:

• Compact and slow-growing – easy to manage

• Excellent for low hedges and edging

• Glossy evergreen leaves – year-round structure

• Fragrant spring blooms – adds seasonal charm

• Tolerates shade, drought, and urban conditions

This variety is well-suited for both residential gardens and commercial landscapes, especially where a neat, low-maintenance, evergreen shrub is needed.
