A beautifully scented evergreen shrub that comes to the fore in late summer. Attractive holly-shaped foliage is adorned in August with lax catkins of greenish yellow flowers, that will scent the air around. Perfect for a courtyard, south or west wall or sheltered spot, it is quite hardy but gets ragged if exposed to cold winds. This very lovely shrub should be planted more and will grow in any soil. Can also be grown in a large pot against a wall. Itea chinensis and yunnanensis with larger leaves are available from time to time.
