$18.95 – $85.00
An upright, compact evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green, oval leaves. In Autumn and early Winter, the plant produces semi-double, white, hints of pink blush, flowers. Prune after flowering to desired height and shape, this will encourage a bushy growth habit and the future development of flowers. Moderate water requirements once established deep soaking in the peak of summer will benefit the plant. Prefers to be grown in humus-rich soil which is well-draining.
