From high altitude in NE Mexico, this very hardy, rare, evergreen large shrub has grown perfectly in the Cotswolds with me for the last 30+ years. The leaves are slightly grey-green, with paler undersides and the sweetly scented white flowers are borne profusely, in billowing panicles during summer. A vigorous and easily grown species that is rarely offered and barely known. Potentially to 5m tall, though can be easily kept much smaller.
