    This almost evergreen variety (except in unusually cold winters) is fast becoming a favorite landscape plant in our area. It blooms profusely and has a shrub-like appearance which makes it suitable for hedges etc. or as accent plants. Its only drawback is that the blooms have (virtually) no scent.
