Masses of white flower spikes smother this compact evergreen shrub in summer, a magnet for bees and other friendly insects.

Dense, glossy green foliage keeps it looking fresh year-round, and it’s easy to grow in full sun or part shade with well-drained soil.

In the wild you'll find it hanging out in the Marlborough wine region of New Zealand; in the garden it's ideal for low hedges, borders, flowerbeds and containers.
