Attractive evergreen shrubs that produce dainty white flowers in the spring, cherry laurels are large and fast-growing and are best known for their sweet-smelling flowers and ability to attract birds to their red, cherry-like fruits which turn black when they've fully matured. The beautiful blooms are also a favorite among butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. The cherry laurel can blend in perfectly with hedges of any shape thanks to its dark green, opaque foliage, and distinctive white flowers.
