This small, fragrant tree or large evergreen shrub is a perfect focal ornamental tree close to the patio. The roots are non-invasive with a neat form, rounded crown and beautiful white flowers that hang in masses on all branches from August to January – creating a perfect festive arrangement. A small spot of bright yellow to guide bees. At night they give off a strong violet-like fragrance. Straight stem, either single or multi-stemmed, with smooth grey to brown bark. Leaves: smooth, dark green with a slight gloss, and a wavy margin. A slow grower it is a good choice for small gardens and will do well in a pot. Host plant to blue-spotted Charaxes and brown and orange-barred Playboy butterflies.
