A neat evergreen shrub with a naturally rounded form and dense bright green leaves that stay tidy all year. Small white flowers appear over a long season and are enjoyed by bees. It makes a smart low maintenance substitute for traditional box, whether clipped into a formal hedge, grown as a border edge or planted in pots on a patio or entrance.

Thrives in full sun and free draining soil and is drought tolerant once established. Also copes well with coastal conditions. Responds well to trimming so can be shaped into balls, cubes or low formal lines. A tough dependable choice for New Zealand gardens. Evergreen.
