This is a compact, evergreen shrub, perfectly adapted to our climate, super hardy, and naturally dense. It’s an excellent choice for coastal outdoor spaces as it handles wind and sea breezes well. A great choice for gardens, hedges, or terraces; it’s highly sustainable, tolerating moderate drought and sharp temperature swings. Its leathery, glossy, deep green oval leaves offer high decorative value. It stays dense over the years, making it ideal for low hedges, garden borders, pots, or planters. It produces small, fragrant white or cream flowers (similar to orange blossoms) in late spring to early summer, usually in clusters or umbels.<\/p>\n
