Jade Turtle™ Cherry Laurel proves that small can still be striking. Its rich, glossy evergreen foliage forms a perfectly rounded, sculpted mound that looks intentionally manicured even when no pruning is done. Fresh flushes of new growth emerge in warm orange-lime tones, adding a flash of brightness that plays beautifully against the deep green leaves and delivers interest all year long.
In spring, clusters of fragrant white flowers burst across the plant, creating a soft cloud of color and contrast that instantly elevates the landscape. These blooms bring subtle movement and charm while maintaining the shrub's sleek, polished look. Thanks to exceptional disease resistance, this laurel stays clean, vibrant, and handsome even in climates where other cherry laurels can struggle.
Compact and slow-growing, Jade Turtle™ Cherry Laurel behaves like a modern, more colorful alternative to boxwood—especially useful for hedges, edging, formal beds, and geometric plantings. Whether you're shaping a tidy border or adding structure to mixed plantings, this shrub's dense habit and unfussy nature make it a garden designer's dream. If you want year-round greenery with architectural form and zero drama, this is the laurel to grow.

Interesting Notes About JADE TURTLE™ CHERRY LAUREL
- A Boxwood Doppelgänger: Jade Turtle™ is often compared to boxwood for its rounded form—but it offers richer color, fresher growth, and notably better disease resistance.
- French-Bred Excellence: This compact cultivar comes from renowned breeders in Angers, France, known for producing reliable and beautifully structured ornamentals.
- Colorful New Growth: The orange-lime flush of fresh foliage gives this shrub a youthful glow that boxwood and other laurels can't match.
- Evergreen with Flair: Unlike many evergreen shrubs that stay visually static, this laurel provides movement through seasonal color shifts and spring flowers.
- Limited Space-Friendly Charmer: Its tidy size and slow growth make it ideal for tight spaces, such as symmetrical entry plantings, or formal garden accents.
