Evergreen shrub. A fast growing spreading shrub or small tree. Although attractive in flower, the most stunning aspect of this plant is its foliage. It has flexible sprays of 1 inch long soft dark olive-green leaves that are flushed dark burgundy maroon. This color is especially pronounced in the outer edges of the canopy where they receive full sun. In the summer on new growth are produced creamy white single flowers to 3/4 inches across. Low to moderate water needs once established.
