Valued for its hardiness, aromatic foliage and ability to adapt to difficult conditions, it is a versatile plant, perfect for coastal gardens, mixed borders or for use as an informal hedge. Thanks to its longevity and natural beauty, lentisk is an ideal choice for those who want a sustainable and low-maintenance garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHARACTERISTICS OF PISTACIA LENTISCUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePistacia lentiscus is a bushy shrub that can reach a height of 2-3 metres, with a compact and branched habit. Its leaves, of an intense and glossy green, emit a light resinous aroma, typical of Mediterranean plants. During the flowering period, between March and May, the plant produces small, inconspicuous red-green flowers, followed by berries that turn from red to black at maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is extremely hardy and suitable for poor, calcareous or sandy soils. It tolerates drought, salt spray and low temperatures well, making it an excellent choice for exposed gardens or those near the sea. Pistacia lentiscus is ideal for mixed hedges, natural borders or for growing as a specimen plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING AND MAINTENANCE OF PISTACIA LENTISCUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLentisk prefers well-drained soils and full sun or partial shade, where it can grow vigorously. Thanks to the \u003cem\u003eFlat Pot Ø50 cm\u003c\/em\u003e size, it is ready to be planted directly in the garden, ensuring an immediate effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few months after planting, it is advisable to water regularly to promote establishment. Once established, the plant requires very little water and tolerates long periods of drought. Maintenance is minimal: light pruning at the end of winter will help maintain its compact shape and remove any dry branches. Its hardiness and adaptability make it an ideal choice for low-maintenance gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAIRING ADVICE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePistacia lentiscus pairs perfectly with Mediterranean and xerophytic plants to create natural and harmonious gardens. For a colour effect, pair it with plants with silvery foliage such as \u003cstrong\u003eHelichrysum italicum\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eSantolina chamaecyparissus\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a contrast in texture, combining lentisk with ornamental grasses such as \u003cstrong\u003eStipa tenuissima\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ePennisetum setaceum\u003c\/strong\u003e can add movement and lightness to the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn coastal gardens, lentisk is ideal next to hardy plants such as \u003cstrong\u003eCistus creticus\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ePhlomis fruticosa\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating hardy and visually striking compositions. Thanks to its ability to adapt to difficult conditions, it can be used both as a dominant element and as a filler in borders or mixed hedges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eFlatPot Ø50 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnacardiaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eShrub\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGreen, Evergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRed-Green\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eFlowering period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMarch - May\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eCold hardiness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eDown to -10°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eDrought tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eHigh\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eSalt tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eHigh\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eMaximum height reached\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e2-3 m\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37.9859%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 37.9859%;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eFull sun, Partial shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"BotanicalDryGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53812919763270,"sku":null,"price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0727\/2104\/files\/Pistacia_lentiscus_flatpot_R50.png?v=1734085957","url":"https:\/\/www.botanicaldrygarden.com\/en\/products\/pistacia-lentiscus-flatpot","provider":"BotanicalDryGarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
