Read detailed description :

Grows naturally in a compact and very dense cushion shape. It is therefore often not necessary to prune it. Between April and June, it produces a few creamy white fllowers turning then yellow, with a nice orange blossom perfume. Its shiny dark green foliage is oval, thick, slightly curled and 3 to 8 cm long. It is resistant to sea spray and heat. Grows in any soils and even dry and drained soils in warm conditions. It grows nicely on low walls, in rock gardens, on borders or in containers.
