About
Lovely evergreen shrub cultivated for its exquisitely fragrant double flowers and handsome leathery foliage. A wonderful outdoor accent for containers or shrub gardens, or indoors as a houseplant. Makes a beautiful cut flower. Prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained, neutral to acid (sour) soil. Prune after flowering.
