Laurus Nobilis originally comes from the Middle East. To the ancient Greeks, this plant was a symbol of wisdom and glory. The plant was often seen as a sign of victory. For this reason, Roman gods were often depicted with a laurel wreath on their heads. Nowadays, Laurus Nobilis grows in all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. The plant is mainly known for its smell. Besides being a good natural air freshener, the leaves are often used in numerous recipes. Laurus Nobilis blooms with white, star-shaped flowers during the summer. At the end of the summer, the plant produces round red fruits that later turn black.
Care Laurus Nobilis prefers a place in full sun in well-drained soil. During the summer the plant needs a little water daily, in winter once a week is sufficient. Laurus is not winter hardy, therefore, it is recommended to let the plant hibernate from November to the end of April in a frost-free place.
