Majestic Jade Laurel is a compact evergreen shrub with a rounded vase shaped habit and lush foliage that emerges bronze-tinted and matures to dark green. Upright panicle clusters of fragrant creamy white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by small black drupes in summer. In warmer climates, flowers best in part sun and rich moist well-drained soils.
