Dense bushy shrub with large dusky green glossy leaves. Cup shaped cream flowers, with their base and margins tinged magenta. The flowers have an exquisite fragance, they appear in spring with a smaller autumn flush. It will grow in a wide range of sites but performs best in good soil in a semi-shade site. Fantastic for clipping into a low hedge or topairy shape. Good for planting near windows to enjoy the fragrance.
Prefers a semi-shaded site / Will tolerate moderate frosts
