Plant description
Forming a dense, spreading crown of lustrous green leaves, which in late winter and early spring is studded with small but powerfully perfumed flowers, this undemanding evergreen will add year-round interest to areas of dry shade. It can also be used in pots, which could be placed near an entrance or pathway, so you can catch the flowers' sweet scent each time you pass.
