- My aromatic leaves feature in Mediterranean, French and North American cooking
- I am well suited to growing in a pot or container in a patio or outdoor kitchen
- I am ideal as low maintenance screening hedge either informal or clipped
- I thrive in full sun to part shade
- I perform well in most soils but do best in those that are fertile and free draining
I am a smaller growing Bay Tree with a compact habit particularly well suited to container planting and where space is limited.
My fragrant dark green glossy foliage is popular as a culinary herb in a range of cuisines.
I rapidly grow to 2 metres but can be maintained at a smaller size with pruning making me a good choice for borders and small hedges.
I produce masses of fluffy yellow blooms from late winter into spring.
I am incredibly hardy tolerating frost, dry conditions, exposed locations and coastal conditions.
