Why we love this plant!

This fast-growing, hardy shrub is ideal for hedging, privacy screens, and windbreaks in South East Queensland gardens. Its lush, glossy green foliage provides year-round structure, while clusters of small, fragrant white flowers bloom in spring, attracting pollinators. Highly adaptable, it thrives in both urban and suburban landscapes, tolerating heat and humidity well. Its dense growth makes it an excellent choice for creating natural barriers while contributing to biodiversity by offering shelter to birds and beneficial insects.
