An unusual slow growing evergreen shrub from Greece. Surprisingly hardy considering its point of origin this rather special plant is worthy of any sunny garden. Large leathery dark green leaves in whorls bear terminal clusters of sweetly scented cream flowers during late spring o early summer. Prefers a warm sunny spot. Can ultimately get quite large. Good in containers.
