Bay Laurel makes a beautiful addition to the landscape with year-round visual interest. Flowers appear in late spring, adding welcome seasonal color to the landscape. At maturity it reaches 12 to 15 feet tall with a 12 to 15 feet spread, so give it room to develop its full canopy. Plant in full sun for the best results. It thrives in zones 8 through 11. Expect visits from pollinators and butterflies throughout the growing season.
