(Laurus nobilis) Zone 8.

Native to Southern Europe. A classic herb in Mediterranean cooking, a truly exciting plant to grow! Its leaves can be used fresh or dried, to flavour a variety of dishes and teas. In our northern climate, Bay Laurel can be grown as a house plant. Good for bonsai too! 

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

**Bay Laurel seeds are very perishable. Keep seeds in fridge until ready to sow** 

SEED PRE-TREATMENT: Soak seeds in cold water for 24-48 hours, rub seeds to remove outer skin coat before sowing.

TIMING: Start seeds indoors as early as possible. Harden off seedlings before moving them outdoors, after risk of frost.

GERMINATION: 30-60 days. Alternating the soil temperature during the day (25°C) and night (20°C) will aid germination. Keep soil moist. Temperatures below 20°C will hinder germination. Germination rate is ~50%.

SEEDING: Sow seeds 1/2” deep. 

GROWING: Bay Laurel can be grown as a house plant, living outdoors in partial shade in the Summer. Bring containers back in the house before first Fall frost. If temperatures drop too low, plant may loose leaves. Be mindful of watering, pots will dry out faster then plants in the ground.
