laurus nobilis standard
A Laurus nobilis standard is a striking way to add year-round structure and Mediterranean flair to your New Zealand garden, patio, or entranceway. With its classic lollipop silhouette, dense aromatic foliage, and edible leaves, the Laurus nobilis standard makes an elegant statement whether flanking front doors, standing guard along pathways, or bringing formality to a courtyard. This tree, commonly known as the bay leaf, is not just decorative but also offers practical culinary uses, making it a versatile addition for gardeners who love to cook as much as they love to grow.
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!
