Ball Bay Standard - Laurus

| This
evergreen bay laurel standard makes an elegant
centre piece for a formal vegetable garden or
potager. Provide a sheltered, sunny or partially
shady site and winter stem protection in cold
areas. Clippings of the lustrous, aromatic, dark
green leaves are valuable, fresh or dried, for
flavouring savoury stocks and sauces. Keep
well-watered during the growing season and feed
with a slow-release fertiliser such as Osmacote.
Clip established plants lightly twice during the
summer months to retain a balanced shape, using
secateurs not shears. |

culinary use, are susceptible to wind scorch. Clip
established plants lightly twice during the summer
months to retain a balanced shape, using secateurs
not shears. |
