Our Bay Laurel Cone will get you off to a classy start, attractive to look at in container on porch or patio, yet plenty of fresh bay leaves for all your culinary desires in the kitchen. The bay laurel takes well to clipping, giving you the flexibility to use this plant as a formal hedge or topiary, often times used in matched pairs for symmetrical compositions. The laurel fits very well into small gardens and city courtyards. Can grow to over 10 feet if you let it, but with continuous clipping, size can be maintained much shorter. This evergreen is hardy to USDA zone 8 and all higher zones, and is shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in yard or garden.
