Laurus nobilis - culinary bay
« on: April 19, 2009, 03:05:37 AM »
Can anyone suggest a source of VIABLE seed of this shrub?  I bought some from an American herbal suppliers, but they just rotted in the pots!

Seed of Laurus nobilis needs to be germinated at a high temperature, over 100F.

My understanding is that it needs a minimum temp of 25C (77F), which is no problem here, as our daily range is 27C-35/7C.
