Read detailed description :

A dense, well ramified and moderately-sized shrub. Startling creamy white flowers, star shaped, resembling those of the Magnolia, with a red heart and fruity perfume. The pale olive-green leaves are quite shiny. Any well drained soil, non-chalky and not too heavy. Appreciates a warm and sheltered zone, in a cool soil.
