About
Lovely evergreen shrub cultivated for its exquisitely fragrant flowers and handsome leathery foliage. A wonderful accent for containers, shrub gardens or the interior landscape. Also makes a beautiful cut flower. Prefers humus-rich, moist, well-drained, neutral to acid (sour) soil. Prune after flowering.
