Laurus nobilis Hedge
A Laurus nobilis hedge is a classic choice for anyone seeking a versatile, attractive, and long-lived option for their New Zealand garden. Laurus nobilis, also known as Sweet Bay Tree or Bay Laurel, is valued not only for its lush, aromatic foliage—often used fresh or dried in the kitchen—but also for its dense, evergreen structure that makes it perfect for hedging. Whether you have a contemporary landscape or a more traditional setting, a Laurus nobilis hedge complements many design styles while providing privacy, shelter, and year-round greenery.
Laurus nobilis
Laurus nobilis is a much-loved shrub in NZ gardens. It is most commonly grown as a specimen, used as a hedge (both trimmed and untrimmed), added to a mixed planting, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants. It is an excellent complement to a modern or cottage garden, bringing both formality and elegance to a space. Bay trees are also popular plants for growing in pots, and their evergreen nature and somewhat slower growth habit make them ideal for pool gardens. Little wonder Laurus nobilis is so popular in NZ gardens!
