This shrub is supplied in a 3 litre container for year round planting.
This has exceptionally dark green leaves, which are plum purple in their young spring growth. There are white flowers for months over winter, from broad, domed clusters of pinkish brown buds, which form an attractive feature in themselves, before flowering. It may come into flower in late, rather than early winter. In summer, the dense, dark quality of the foliage makes it exceptionally useful as a background shrub.
