Description | A clumping or spreading shrub with showy white blooms. This plant lends itself well to high elevation gardens, and can be used as an understory plant in shady areas. The glossy foliage and abundant, fragrant blooms make this an attractive addition to a landscape, but is probably best avoided by low desert gardeners. |
