Laurus Baby Bay 140

Laurus ‘Baby Bay’ is the perfect compact version of the classic bay tree, offering all the fragrance and flavour in a neat, easy-care form. With its glossy, deep green aromatic leaves and naturally tidy growth habit, this versatile evergreen is ideal for pots, courtyards, kitchen gardens or low hedging.

Unlike larger bay trees, ‘Baby Bay’ stays compact and manageable, making it perfect for smaller spaces while still delivering beautiful structure and year-round greenery. The richly scented leaves are a must-have for the kitchen — simply pick fresh to enhance soups, stews, roasts and sauces.

Hardy and low maintenance, it thrives in full sun to part shade and once established, tolerates dry periods with ease. Whether clipped into a formal shape or left natural, Laurus ‘Baby Bay’ brings elegance, practicality and Mediterranean charm to any garden.

A beautiful plant to grow — and even better to cook with.

Tip: For the healthiest growth, plant in well-drained soil and avoid overwatering. If growing in a pot, use a premium potting mix and feed lightly in spring with a slow-release fertiliser. Regular light trimming will keep it compact and encourage fresh, flavourful new leaves.
