Read detailed description :

This evergreen plant has little silvery, pale olive-green glazed leaves and grows naturally into a spherical form without pruning. An interesting alternative to Boxwood, with well ramified and compact vegetation. Discreet and perfumed, chocolate-purple flowers appear in May-June. In a well drained soil, tolerates temperatures down to 7-11°C in winter. Resistant to sea spray and drought.
