A Japanese shrub (1865), with deep green, ovate, leathery leaves that are not over abundant, and produced generally at the branch-tips. The pure white, fragrant flowers are plentifully produced when the plant is grown in a cosy corner, or on a sunny wall.
Though seldom killed outright, the Raphiolepis suffers badly in severe winters. It is, however, a bold and handsome shrub, and one that may be seen doing well in many gardens around London.
