Very sweetly-scented small white flower clusters bloom in early spring on this handsome, neat, large rounded shrub. Long, narrow, leathery dark green leaves contrast beautifully with the white flowers. The shrub is dense enough to form an excellent, if somewhat slow-growing screen or hedge, but place it near enough to where your nose might be traveling. You'll be amazed how much aromatic power is in these unobtrusive flowers. This is an olive relative from the sides of gorges in W. Asia – N.E. Turkey to Georgia. It is versatile, able to grow in sandy, loamy, rocky, or clay soils, and can tolerate moist to dry soils! How incredibly accommodating. And decorus (elegant)!

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
