Laurus nobilis - Bay - Bushy - Height 120-140cm - 12lt

Laurus nobilis, commonly known as bay laurel, is a highly versatile and valuable plant for many types of gardens. Its elegant, glossy evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and makes it an excellent choice for ornamental borders, formal designs, and Mediterranean-inspired landscapes. Bay laurel can be grown as a shrub or trained into a small tree, and it also responds exceptionally well to pruning, making it ideal for topiary, hedging, or container cultivation.

This species thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, though it is generally tolerant of a range of soil types once established. In warm, temperate climates, Laurus nobilis grows vigorously and remains evergreen; in colder regions, it benefits from shelter against harsh winter winds or can be overwintered in a container. Its moderate drought tolerance adds to its suitability for low-maintenance gardens.

Beyond its ornamental appeal, bay laurel is valued for its aromatic leaves, widely used in cooking. The leaves can be harvested year-round, adding a practical, culinary dimension to the garden. Combining beauty, resilience, and utility, Laurus nobilis is an excellent, long-lasting addition to both formal and informal garden settings.
