Handsome evergreen shrub is very tolerant of pruning and shaping. Well-suited for topiary, entryways or hedging. Flowers in spring are insignificant but very fragrant. Prune in summer. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil and some shade.

This evergreen shrub with dark foliage and fragrant flower clusters is very effective as a landscape accent, mass planting, or combined with azalea and rhododendron. Leaves turn bronze with cold weather. Adapts to full sun or shade. Prefers acid (sour) to slightly alkaline (sweet) soil. Deer resistant.

Beautiful flowers in shades of pink to white attract butterflies to your garden. A lovely shrub for the mixed garden or landscape planting. Shear lightly after first flowering for best appearance. Hardiness and bloom time vary with variety.
