Arriving as nicely grown plants in generous 12” hanging pots (a standard fern is usually in 9-10” pots, limiting its growth potential), these big beauties will be perfect on your porch all Summer, getting HUGE by the Fall.

Big Bay Laurel, $40.00 What a find! Bay Laurel Plants (a herb that is used in cooking) are such a difficult-to-find plant for us to source, and we did it! AND the specimens we secured are BIG! Presenting in 7” pots, these herbs will be usable early in the season, and the aromatic leaves will keep producing all Summer. It is best to grow in a planter so you can bring this beauty indoors for Winter, keeping it for many years to come. Bay Laurel grows slowly, hence its elusiveness, and finding ones larger than wee ones in 4” pots is rare. Prebook Pick-Up: May 01, 02, 03, 04 only. -
