Both varieties maintain a dense, compact structure, reaching a maximum height of 3–4 meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is a deep, glossy green, with silvery undertones on the underside, giving the plant a bright, neat appearance. In spring, the Phillyrea produces small cream-white flowers with a delicate fragrance that attract bees and other pollinating insects. Its resistance to drought, wind, and poor soils makes it a versatile and long-lived plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE OF PHILLYREA ANGUSTIFOLIA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePhillyrea angustifolia\u003c\/strong\u003e adapts to a wide range of soils, including poor, sandy, or calcareous ones, provided they are well-drained. It prefers full sun or partial shade, which ensures vigorous growth and dense foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few months after planting, it is advisable to water regularly to promote establishment. Once established, it requires little water and is highly drought-tolerant. Maintenance is minimal: light pruning in spring or late winter is sufficient to maintain the desired shape and stimulate new growth. Its tolerance of salt spray and air pollution also makes it ideal for coastal or urban gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePhillyrea angustifolia\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs beautifully with Mediterranean and xerophytic plants to create hardy, harmonious gardens.
