Phillyrea latifolia – Pillows
Homegrown at Architectural Plants our Phillyrea latifolia pillows are flatter and fatter than balls. They come in a big, wide pot to give instant gravitas to your planting. A beautiful native of the Mediterranean, Phillyrea latifolia is in the same family as the olive, but has small dark green leaves, small yellowish flowers and small black fruits. The sum of the parts though, is so much more. A truly lovely tree that can be allowed to grow naturally, or is so good when used for topiary. Position them in sun or shade in well drained soil, clipping lightly to maintain the shape. Simple.
