The back side of each petal is adorned with a cute red spot. The flowers contrast nicely with the reddish orange new leaves which are emerging at the same time. This evergreen beauty forms an upright, vase-shaped shrub to 10 feet in height and 7 feet wide clothed in glossy, oblong green leaves. Can be grown as a shrub or lover branches can be removed to form an attractive small tree, Plant this one near patios and other outdoor living spaces where the fragrance can be enjoyed from close up.
