The specimen

About this plant

Bay laurel is the shrub of structure: its leathery, deep glossy green leaves hold all year and accept the strictest clipping. Two standards frame an entrance; a free hedge closes a garden; a cone defines a terrace.

Native to the Mediterranean basin, it tolerates heat, wind and chalky soil. Its leaves, picked in passing, are those of Moroccan cooking.

Note: they are toxic to dogs and cats.

Care

Caring for your plant

  • Watering

    Weekly watering in pots in summer, fortnightly in the ground. It forgives lapses once rooted.

  • Light

    Sun or half-shade. It keeps a good green even against a north-facing wall.

  • Feeding

    Organic feed in spring, especially for clipped potted specimens.

  • Temperature

    Hardy to −10 °C, indifferent to heat. A fleece protects young shoots during late frosts in Meknes.

  • Clips into any shape and holds it
  • Evergreen, dense, green all year
  • Fresh leaves for the kitchen within reach
