Native to the Mediterranean basin, the Laurus nobilis, better known as the bay laurel, is an iconic shrub with evergreen, fragrant leaves. Its elegant stemmed silhouette makes it a plant as decorative as it is useful, perfect for urban terraces and balconies.
Its spherical shape brings structure and greenery all year round, while its dense foliage releases a refined aroma reminiscent of Mediterranean gardens.
Exposure & location
The bay laurel prefers bright, sunny spots. It grows perfectly in a pot on a terrace or balcony and can be brought indoors during winter if temperatures drop too low.
- Exposure: sun to partial shade.
- Ideal: balcony, terrace, or greened entrance.
- Temperature: hardy down to −5 °C, protect during severe frosts.
- Substrate: well-drained, slightly calcareous.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — allow the top layer of substrate to dry between waterings.
- Drainage: essential to avoid stagnant water, which causes yellowing of the foliage.
- Pruning: light pruning in spring to maintain a compact and harmonious shape.
- Fertilizer: in spring and summer, once a month with a Mediterranean plant fertilizer.

Decor ideas & plant combinations
With its graphic shape and evergreen foliage, the bay laurel structures outdoor spaces while adding a Mediterranean touch. Placed in pairs on either side of a door or staircase, two potted bay laurels create a structured and timeless effect.
- Pair with: rosemary, lavender, olive tree, or thyme for a fragrant and harmonious ensemble.
- Recommended pot: terracotta or beige ceramic for a natural and sunny look.
Verdeia tips
- Protect it in winter: bring the pot into a bright, wind-sheltered space as soon as temperatures drop below 0 °C — young spring shoots are especially sensitive to cold.
- Prune after flowering: light pruning in spring is enough to keep the bay laurel’s characteristic beautiful spherical shape.
- Harvest as needed: pick leaves gradually to flavor your dishes — this regular harvesting also stimulates new shoot growth.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
