A little about this plant

Bay Laurel Tree - Laurus nobilis
Bay trained as a standard - a clear stem with a clipped head - is one of the most satisfying plants you can have on a patio. It looks considered, it holds its shape, and it's genuinely functional. The leaves go straight from the garden into the kitchen, and fresh bay beats dried from the supermarket every time.

Native to the Mediterranean, Laurus nobilis has been cultivated for centuries. Hardy to around -5 to -10°C, fully evergreen, and happy in most soils as long as drainage is reasonable. The standard form suits containers particularly well - a pair flanking a front door is a classic for good reason.

This plant is also known as Sweet Bay and True Laurel.

Grow in sun or partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. Prune once or twice a year - late spring is ideal - to maintain the shape you want. Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser. Note: the berries are ornamental only and not for eating.

This bundle includes 2 plants.

Decorative pots not included.

outdoor plant FAQs

How long should I wait until repotting my outdoor plant?

Your outdoor plant will be happiest planted into the garden as soon as possible after it arrives, provided the ground isn't frozen or waterlogged.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for planting, but with a little extra watering, many outdoor plants can also be planted successfully during summer.

How often should I water it?

Water well after planting, then continue watering regularly for the first few weeks while the roots establish.

Will the plant surive all year round outside?

Most outdoor plants are chosen to grow outside and can happily stay outdoors all year round. However, this does depend on the specific plant variety and the conditions in your garden.
