An evergreen small tree to 10 m
high. Suited to full-sun and partshade,
it has a dense growth
habit and glossy dark green
leaves with a rusty-brown colour
on the underside. Produces large
saucer-shaped, creamy white
perfumed flowers in spring
and summer. It is highly prized
for its use as cut foliage for
florists. An ideal specimen plant
in courtyards and container
gardens and an ideal informal
hedge.
