Phillyrea angustifolia  ‘Grand Prix’

Phillyrea angustifolia ‘Grand Prix’

Compact, strong and reliable

With its glossy, dark green leaves featuring a subtle olive-green hue, Phillyrea ‘Grand Prix’ brings a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere to any setting – sun-drenched or not. The compact, evergreen growth habit and refined leaf structure evoke the charm of southern gardens, while the plant’s robustness makes it possible to recreate that same feeling even in temperate climates.

What truly sets ‘Grand Prix’ apart is its naturally dense, upright growth. Thanks to short internodes and excellent branching, the plant forms a full, well-structured shrub.

This makes it exceptionally versatile:

  • Low hedges starting at 80 cm
  • Tall hedges up to 2 meters
  • Structure in borders, rock gardens, or coastal projects
  • Green accents around pools or in urban environments

Easy to maintain: During the growing season, it can be trimmed effortlessly to any desired height.
