Plant description
Offering year-round interest with its handsome (and slightly aromatic) green leaves, this compact evergreen shrub is as versatile as it is attractive. It's also at its best when a splash of colour is needed most. Quietly understated in summer, it starts to develop domed clusters of lime green buds in autumn, and these are held throughout the winter before opening to masses of lightly scented, white star-shaped flowers in spring.
