In pot – bring inside during hard frost.
Bay Laurel (also known as Lorbeer) belongs to the Herbs category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Bay Laurel can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Bay Laurel tolerates light frost down to about −3°C. Extended cold periods or hard frosts are harmful. Once night temperatures stay above 2°C, it is safe to plant outdoors.
Bay Laurel grows best at daytime temperatures between 12°C and 30°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 2°C.
Bay Laurel is relatively robust against mold and tolerates wetter conditions well. Still, always avoid waterlogging.
Rain sensitivity: Medium – Moderate rain is tolerated, but waterlogging should be avoided.
