GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
SEED PRE-TREATMENT: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing.
TIMING: Start seeds indoors 12-16 weeks before final Spring frost date. Harden off seedlings before moving them outdoors.
GERMINATION: 30-60 days. Alternating the soil temperature during the day (20-25°C) and night (15-20°C) will aid germination. Keep soil moist.
SEEDING: Sow seeds 3/8” deep.
GROWING: Bay Laurel can be grown as a house plant, living outdoors in partial shade in the Summer. Bring containers back in the house before first Fall frost. If temperatures drop too low, plant may loose leaves. Be mindful of watering, pots will dry out faster then plants in the ground.
