A herb garden staple, Bay Trees have been gracing our kitchen gardens for years. Evergreen standard with aromatic leaves that bring a mouthwatering depth and rich aroma to everything from soups, stews, and curries to Bolognese and roasted meats.
Bays are often grown in pots and respond well to topiary training with lush, glossy and dense foliage. They require little more than a light trim in early spring and summer to maintain a desired shape and will happily grow in sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. They’re also well suited to coastal locations.
For ease, pluck leaves fresh from the plant and add them whole to a pot, before leaving to infuse the cooking. Fresh leaves boast a lighter, more floral flavour than dried leaves and can be kept in the fridge. If dried, they have a more intense flavour. They should be removed before serving unless they're ground or chopped.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, to be enjoyed for many years to come. It is also recommended as a ‘Plant for Pollinators’, attracting bees and butterflies with its small lime green spring flowers.
Supplied as an established standard, 180cm tall, 50-60cm diameter, in a 15L pot, ready to plant.

Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
