Hybrid. Desirable for the upright slender growth habit. Small, scented, single pure white flowers with golden stamens appear from autumn through to late spring. These are offset against very dark green foliage. Ideal for driveway and group planting. Happiest in semi shade. Evergreen.
I have a group of these growing against a grey fence in the garden, they are remarkably tolerant of heat and sun though I am sure they would be happier in part shade. Even though the situation is less than ideal they flower for months.
