Spurge Laurel - Daphne laureola

The Spurge Laurel (Daphne laureola) is a broadleaf evergreen flowering shrub for landscapes and gardens. This is a nice evergreen texture to emulate a Rhododendron but much fuller. This is an invasive species in the Pacific Northwest. It can also have an unpleasant fragrance, and the flower is not as showy as other Daphne. The native species is most common in production.
