Laurus nobilis / kitchen bay laurel
Laurus nobilis: the classy kitchen companion. This evergreen shrub gives you glossy, aromatic leaves year-round – perfect for stews, soups, and smug home cooking moments. Looks good in a pot, smells amazing, and earns its keep on the regular.
Plant Care
Position: full sun to part shade, in a sheltered spot – great in pots near the kitchen door
Hardiness: hardy in most of the UK, but protect from harsh frost (down to -5°C); may need fleece or winter shelter in colder areas
Hot Tips: trim lightly to keep in shape, and pick mature leaves for the best flavour. Water well in summer but don’t let it sit soggy. Repot every couple of years if container-grown.
