The dark green, leathery, aromatic leaves are a familiar culinary herb, used fresh or dried to flavour soups, stews and slow-cooked dishes, while small yellow flowers appear in spring, followed on female plants by black berries (ornamental only, not for eating). Kept neatly clipped, bay makes striking formal shapes — balls, pyramids, or standards — perfect either side of an entrance or on a patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLeft unclipped, bay can eventually reach up to 7.5 metres or more, though regular trimming keeps it to whatever size and shape suits your space, from a compact container specimen to a substantial topiary piece. Grow in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil; it does very well in pots, especially in a sheltered spot with regular watering. Mature plants tolerate hard pruning if needed, but recover slowly, so it's best carried out gradually over two or three seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach plant is hand-selected before dispatch\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53975796416877,"sku":"lxp1789524913741","price":7.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/6216\/6381\/files\/laurus-nobilis-105cm_1.jpg?v=1789524918","url":"https:\/\/androgynousstyle.shop\/products\/laurus-nobilis-105cm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
