About this plant

'Godrie's Dwarf' is a compact, rounded, evergreen shrub to around 75cm tall and wide with elliptic, leathery, mid- to dark green leaves. Terminal panicles of greenish-white winter buds gradually darken in colour to a pinkish-red before opening to tiny, fragrant, pink flowers in spring; this is a male clone so does not produce berries
