Herb
Undulata
B tier
Undulata bay shows wavy, undulating leaf margins on true Laurus nobilis—textural interest for ornamental trees with full kitchen rights. Aroma and use match standard Mediterranean bay. Add wavy leaves to stocks; they are easy to recognise when retrieving from a pot. Plants need the same care as any bay laurel: sun, drainage, frost protection when young.
