A compact Sweet Bay with bright green wavy leaves and a fabulous fragrance. This evergreen shrub looks and smells wonderful year-round. Works well in containers or as a house plant in colder climates, and is handy to have for cooking. Its dried leaves add a nice flavor to stews and sauces. Makes a handsome clipped hedge or formal topiary.
