Laurus nobilis P25/160 total/50 ball    

Laurus nobilis is an evergreen shrub or small tree with aromatic, evergreen leaves. This particular lollipop shape makes the shrub ideal for topiary use. Small, yellow flowers are produced in spring and female plants may produce black berries in autumn.

Laurus nobilis is one of the oldest shrubs in cultivation, introduced at least as early as 1650. It’s an essential foliage plant for herb gardens, its leaves commonly used in curries and as part of a bouquet garni. It’s slightly tender when young and benefits from shelter and protection in winter. Plants are traditionally trained and clipped as topiary and make fine structural features in formal gardens.

Grow Laurus nobilis in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, ideally near a south- or west-facing wall, which will provide additional shelter from cold winds and frost.

If growing indoor, place near a sunny window that receives bright direct light.
