It is characterised by its narrow, lanceolate leaves resembling rosemary, offering a fine texture and a dense evergreen canopy. This selection is distinguished by its homogeneity in growth and exceptional adaptation to poor, dry, or coastal soils. Its spring-borne creamy-white flowers, though discreet, attract pollinators and contribute to its ecological value. The plant demonstrates remarkable resistance to drought, wind, and saline spray, making it highly suitable for challenging environmental conditions (resistance up to -12°C).
How to use Phillyrea angustifolia Rosmarinifolia Sélection ?
Thanks to its dense structure and tolerance to pruning, Phillyrea angustifolia Rosmarinifolia Sélection is ideal for formal or informal hedges, windbreaks, and screens in coastal or dry landscapes. It can also be used as a specimen shrub in Mediterranean-themed gardens or mass plantings for large-scale landscaping projects. Its ability to withstand drought and poor soils makes it a perfect candidate for low-maintenance, sustainable designs, including urban green spaces and xeriscaping.
Cultivation advice for Phillyrea angustifolia Rosmarinifolia Sélection
Plant Phillyrea angustifolia Rosmarinifolia Sélection in well-drained soil, preferably sandy or stony, with a planting distance of 1 to 1.5 m for hedging purposes. It thrives in full sun but tolerates light shade. Minimal watering is required once established, except in prolonged drought. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape and density. Soil preparation should include minimal amendment, as the plant prefers lean substrates. Fertilisation is rarely necessary; however, a slow-release, low-nitrogen fertiliser in spring can boost growth in poor soils.
