Why we love this plant!

This compact, evergreen shrub is well-suited to South East Queensland’s warm climate, thriving in full sun or part shade with minimal water requirements once established. It features dense, dark green foliage and profuse clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. Its naturally rounded shape and resilience to coastal conditions make it an excellent choice for low-maintenance hedging, borders, or feature plantings. Hardy and adaptable, it’s a fantastic option for urban gardens or exposed locations.

Care Considerations

Drought-resistant once established, but regular watering in the first growing season may help establish a strong root system.

A balanced fertiliser in spring may support healthy growth.

Pruning preferences:

Pruning after flowering may help maintain a neat appearance and encourage denser growth.
