Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a densely branched, rounded shrub with a height ranging from 90–120 cm to 2 m. The leaves are glossy and dark green, emitting a citrus scent when crushed, and are larger in size than those of the original species.

The large white flowers are gathered in inflorescences and have a strong fragrance. The flowering period occurs in late spring and early summer, often followed by a second wave in the autumn period. The plant prefers sunny or partially shaded areas with well-drained soil and protection from cold winds.

It is used in landscape design for creating hedges, borders, mass plantings, or for container cultivation.
