A pretty evergreen wall plant,bearing sweet-scented white flowers in July. The bush is round, and
extremely ornamental when grown in the shrubbery. It delights in a
mixture of peat and loam, and is propagated by cuttings placed in sand

in March, detaching them in the autumn. While young it makes a fine
pot-plant. Height, 6 ft.
