I am in 6"c"/ 7a in central Virginia, and my Bay is an outdoor summer plant only.  It's pot comes in for the winter.  I also blanket my rosemary plants when the weather turns very cold with winds.  I lose my pastured figs, the potted ones are okay because they stay in an unheated garage for the winter weather.

I grow Bay laurel in zone 7a in a large pot on the south side of my house next to a concrete wall. I have kept it through 4 winters, but it, like my Rosemary gets a blanket if the temperature drops below 25 degrees F.

While I have had no problem 9 years out of 10 with rosemary in NC 7A, I
lost every Bay Laurel I ever tried.  I had rosemary survive to the point
the main trunk on several plants was about 3 inches in diameter.  Then we
got one of our freak cold snaps which killed the Rosemarys, figs to the
ground (they resprout fine).

Good luck.
