I am a large shrub with abundant clusters of small white flowers set against green and red foliage from late winter into spring. My glossy foliage matures to a dense dark green.
I respond well to pruning and can be clipped to shape as desired. I am ideal for low maintenance hedging and screening.
I am extremely hardy and disease resistant making me a good choice for exposed locations and coastal conditions.
I am a good choice when a handsome hedge is required in partially shaded locations.
