These will go in two pots I have outside the kitchen door. Someone raved about the perfume (it smells lovely!) so as one of my bay trees had died this winter, they will take their place and I will just keep the one bay in a pot somewhere. Maybe out front if it doesnt get pinched!

sounds lovely Tetra, are you still having probs with pinching, hope not

Not at present but if its not cemented down out the front, eventually it will walk I would think. Btw, these little plants have tiny delicate white flowers.

It might have been me that was raving! I do love the scent of these. They flower in the winter San...lovely perfume, and then dark red, almost black berries after. They don't mind shade either.

Oh, forgot to say, they do get damaged in winters like we've just had, but you can just prune out the dead bits, should be ok.
