Shrub that's evergreen - but not hardy (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
laurel
'shrub' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laurel that I've seen before include "Emblem of victory" , "Hardy's comic pal" , "girl" , "Praise" , "one half of double act" .)
