Herb of the Year
Bay Laurel (Laurus
nobilis)
Bay
is a staple in most kitchens as a flavoring for soups, stews, stuffing and
marinades, as well as a multitude of other culinary uses. Its glossy green
leaves are aromatic when crushed, and make beautiful holiday wreaths and
arrangements as well!
In
our climate (Zone 8 and south), bay can be grown as a landscape plant that
can (eventually!) reach 60 feet. In colder zones, you can grow it in a pot
and move it indoors for winter. In a large pot, the plant can grow to 5 to
6 feet.
