Comment

Dense Rounded Form. Pruning Group 9; trim lightly to maintain a compact habit. Isolate close to a path or lawn in a shrub border to show off it's flowers. Grow as border hedge in Coastal areas to provide wind protection.

"Evergreen shrub with small dark green leaves with white undersides and masses of daisy-like white flowers in the summer. These plants love full sun and seem to thrive in strong winds, making them ideal for seaside gardens. Can be used for hedging where they make an attractive screen. Dead head the flowers and cut out any old wood in the spring to help keep the plants compact." from R.V. Roger.
