I am Shooting Star producing incredible mounds of small creamy white flowers with pink at the back from early winter to mid spring.
I am a long lived, low maintenance evergreen perennial with leathery green leaves and a rounded form.
I work well in shaded areas and a good choice as an underplanting below deciduous trees. Adaptable I am happy in pots and general container planting, a great way to brighten up a shaded balcony or paved area.
Low maintenance I am tolerant of dry conditions and light frosts.
