Laurus nobilis 'Flavour Master' pbr Ball
Laurus nobilis 'Flavour Master' is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its dense, bushy growth and glossy, dark green leaves. The leaves are oval-shaped, aromatic, and slightly thicker than those of the standard Bay Laurel, enhancing their culinary appeal. In spring, it may produce small clusters of pale-yellow flowers, adding subtle beauty to its overall appearance.
Cultural
Thrives in a full sun to part shade position, 'Flavour Master'™ pbr prefers well-drained, fertile soil. While it tolerates a range of soil types, it performs best in conditions that provide good drainage. Once established, 'Flavour Master'™ pbr has a low water requirement, making it relatively drought-tolerant. However, regular watering is beneficial, especially during extended dry periods or while the plant is still young. To support healthy growth, apply a long-term, slow-release fertiliser in early spring. This variety responds well to pruning, allowing it to be kept smaller if needed. Although generally resistant to pests and diseases, it is advisable to check occasionally for common pests like scale insects and treat them if necessary.
Landscape Uses
Laurus balls, with their dense, glossy green foliage and neat, rounded form, bring a classic and elegant touch to the landscape. They are ideal for framing entrances, lining pathways, or adding structure to formal gardens and courtyards. Their versatility also makes them perfect for container planting, where they can be used as statement pieces on patios, balconies, or flanking doorways.
