Phillyrea latifolia

Phillyrea latifolia is a shrub with glossy green leaves.

The green-white flowers bloom in umbels, they are not very striking but have a strong scent.

From September the blue-black oval fruits appear.

Requires a well-drained, moist soil, but once established, the plant tolerates dry soil.

Moderately hardy to -10°C, so it is best placed in a well-sheltered and dry place.

Can be pruned well.
