NEW TEXAS SUPERSTAR: Texas Mountain Laurel
Known for its dark, glossy foliage and iconic blooms, Texas mountain laurel stands out as a dependable large shrub or small tree capable of handling Texas’ regional conditions and unpredictable weather. Its leathery evergreen leaves maintain their luster year‑round.

In early to mid-spring, its dense clusters of blue to blue‑purple flowers fill the air with a distinctive grape‑bubblegum fragrance. 🍇🍇🍇
