Laurus nobilis — truly one of the most popular plant choices available — is our February Spotlight, and for good reason.
Formal or informal, quirky or classic, Laurus nobilis (Bay Tree) is a versatile, timeless favourite that continues to deliver across all garden and landscape styles. With its rich history and unmistakable presence, it remains a go-to choice for both designers and end clients.
A Little Background
The Latin name Laurus means verdant, while nobilis means noble — an apt description for a plant steeped in history. From ancient Greek and Roman laurel wreaths worn by kings, poets, and athletes, to modern-day gardens, this noble evergreen has stood the test of time. (While once believed to offer protection from thunderstorms, we wouldn’t recommend relying on that today!)
