A compact evergreen shrub with a naturally rounded form, perfect for adding structure to borders or creating neat, low hedges without excessive pruning. Its small, glossy dark green leaves form a dense canopy that stays attractive in all seasons, making it particularly useful for formal gardens and urban spaces. What sets it apart is its exceptionally slow growth rate, meaning it maintains its tidy shape for longer compared to other evergreen shrubs. Despite its refined appearance, it's remarkably tough, thriving in coastal conditions, polluted areas, and a range of soil types. The discreet white summer flowers may develop into decorative orange fruits, adding subtle seasonal interest. An ideal choice for those seeking an elegant, low maintenance shrub that won't outgrow its space.
