Sclerochiton odoratissimus is a hardy, evergreen, small, shrub with attractive, glossy, small dark green leaves.
It bears masses of pretty white flowers that are streaked with red or purple lines and are wonderfully fragrant in late summer and autumn.
The flowers are like little hands facing the sun. It is a sight to behold when in flower especially with all the insects that visit the flowers.
It is fairly drought tolerant but can also be planted in damp sunny spots.
Trim it into an attractive formal hedge, use in a mixed shrubbery or plant in a container.
Size .75 to 1.5m
