Bae's survival guide
You are what you eat
You know the saying you are what you eat, well in the case of the beautiful bay, that means a vitamin rich, anti fatigue, aromatic soup-and-tea-making superfood. That's right, this Bay Laurel is not just for looks, the edible multi-purpose leaves are a must have in every kitchen.

What makes Bae so special
Bay laurel plants are easily kept in a pot but can be planted as well. When put directly in soil, these plants can reach heights of up to 40 or even 50 feet tall. Bay laurels need not be kept in moist soil so let the top few inches of your pot dry out before watering again. In your garden this edible plant will grow well in a variety of soils but be sure to provide proper drainage and let the soil dry out somewhat before watering again. Laurus Nobilis is winter hardy up to about -5 degrees celsius. When potted you can bring the plant indoors through winter but be sure to give it a bright spot away from drafts and heat sources. Bay laurel plants are not pet friendly so be careful with your furry friends.

How do you measure height?
Good question! We measure the height from the top of the plant to the bottom of the pot (including the pot itself).
