Description: A fast growing evergreen shrub with dense, deep green foliage. A profusion of spider lemon cream flowers are produced in winter & spring.

Position: Grows well in a sunny or well drained soil. Tolerates periods of dryness once established, but will benefit from deep watering occasionally in dry weather. Tolerates coastal exposure and light frost. Also tolerates alkaline soils.

Maintenance: Prune regularly to keep habit dense and growth. Feed in early spring or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertiliser. Mulch well to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
