Success Starts With Soil

‘Picturata’ is a variegated spotted laurel distinguished by its bold yellow leaf centers accented by green margins flecked with yellow. It typically matures to about 6 feet tall and wide, creating a bright focal point in the landscape. Because this variety can occasionally produce solid green shoots, any reverted growth should be removed to maintain its distinctive variegation.
