Bay Laurel – 1 Live Evergreen Herb Plant, 1-Gallon Size – Laurus nobilis

Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis), also known as Sweet Bay or Bay Leaf Plant, is an aromatic evergreen shrub or small tree valued for its glossy, deep green foliage and culinary uses. Its leathery leaves are commonly dried and used to flavor soups, stews, sauces, and other savory dishes. The plant also provides year-round ornamental interest in suitable climates.

In late spring, established Bay Laurel plants may produce clusters of small, pale yellow to yellow-green flowers. These blossoms can attract visiting insects, including pollinators. Its naturally upright, densely branched growth habit makes it attractive as a landscape specimen, evergreen accent, or container-grown culinary herb.

Bay Laurel performs best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It prefers moderate moisture but can tolerate some dryness once established. In USDA Hardiness Zones 8–11, it can be grown outdoors as a perennial evergreen. In colder regions, container cultivation allows the plant to be moved into a protected location during freezing weather.
