“Lusitanica” originates from southwestern France into the Iberian Peninsula. It is noteworthy for its excellent hedging growth and is of a bushy habit.
Foliage is composed of dark green, glossy leaves that are ovate and approximately 10 to 12 cm in length. Also pleasant are the fragrant, white flowers which appear on lengthy racemes of about 20 to 30 cm in the early summer. Later in the autumn season, appear small purple-coloured fruits.
Overall, this plant is easy to maintain after it is established. The height and spread make it perfect for hedging because it is both dense and large in stature. In addition, it is drought resistant and hardy throughout most of the UK, down to -15⁰ C.
