Phillyrea Angustifolia Green Line, 10L  David Austin Roses and lemongrassAlso known as Mock Privet, Phillyrea Angustifolia Green Line is an evergreen shrub with an appearance not unlike that of the olive. Also hailing from the Mediterranean, its leathery green leaves award it a dense habit, one which can easily be shaped into balls or shaped to provide structure in the garden. In late spring it bears off white, fragrant flowers, followed by purple berries if the weather is consistently hot enough.
