DESCRIPTION
Prunus laurocerasus 'Zabeliana', commonly known as Zabel's cherry laurel, is a low-growing, horizontally spreading cultivar valued for its narrow, glossy leaves and tolerance for shaded conditions. This evergreen shrub blooms in spring, producing small white flowers in upright clusters, followed by black berries in summer, which may attract birds. Its horizontal growth habit makes it ideal for ground cover on slopes, along shaded walls, or as part of a low-maintenance garden design.
Native to regions around the Black Sea, Zabeliana is a slow-growing variety that is well-suited for small gardens or areas requiring cold-hardy plants. While it can be pruned to maintain its spread, this cultivar is particularly appreciated for its natural, understated elegance in landscape designs, requiring minimal intervention to thrive.
