This is a dense, flowering shrub growing to 3m in height. It has fragrant leaves and produces dark pink to red flowers over summer. Because it is not a delicate plant it makes an excellent hedge and screening plant, particularly in coastal areas. Light pruning after flowering will maintain its form and flowers.
