Phillyrea latifolia – Standards

Hardy and really easy to grow evergreen shrub. Originating in the Mediterranean: the Victorian gardeners were mad for it and it was planted extensively by them. For some reason it fell out of vogue after 1900. We rediscovered it and have been growing it for 30 years now, and convinced as we are by its beauty and versatility we’re spear-heading a renaissance for this tremendous plant.
