Laurus nobilis commonly known as Sweet Bay or Bay Laurel, is a versatile and attractive evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its aromatic, glossy dark green leaves.

Widely used in cooking for its rich flavour, it also makes an excellent structural plant in the garden. Laurus nobilis can be easily trimmed and shaped into formal hedges, topiary or grown as a specimen plant.

It thrives in sun or shade and tolerates a wide range of well-drained soil types. Hardy and low maintenance, Laurus nobilis is both ornamental and practical, ideal for herb gardens, pots, courtyards or garden borders.
