GROWING - Laurus nobilis like to grow in a South or West facing position in full sun but can cope with partial shade. They require shelter from cold winds and frost. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not overly wet. Allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings but do not let it dry completely.
