Drimys lanceolata

Drimys lanceolata is a refined, evergreen shrub with gorgeous red stems.

Drimys lanceolata is a true aristocrat of the garden. This refined, evergreen shrub is a great specimen for mild climate gardens. Creamy yellow-green perfumed blossoms result in glistening black fruit in autumn. The distinctive foliage, oval in shape and a deep green, is held along beautiful, red, young stems that glow when the light shines through them.
