4 Bay Laurel Cuttings Laurus nobilis Aromatic Evergreen Herb

Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) is a classic aromatic evergreen prized for its glossy, deep green foliage and upright, shrubby habit, equally at home in a culinary herb garden or as a shapely container specimen. The leathery leaves release a rich, savory fragrance when crushed, making this a rewarding and long-lived plant for growers who enjoy both ornamental structure and kitchen usefulness.

Grown from cuttings, this selection offers reliable, true-to-type plants that establish well in containers or sheltered garden spots. The leaves are traditionally harvested for soups, stews, and marinades, while the naturally dense growth can be clipped into topiary or kept as a compact indoor plant in bright light. Bay Laurel responds well to regular pruning and can be trained as a small standard or hedge over time.
