The white to lilac flowers are long and loose making a great show in spring over a long period. It will grow in sun or semi-shade, best in well drained soil, will grow in dry sites. Hardy to cold. A very tidy plant that clips well, and stays looking great for many years. Occurs naturally in north west Nelson and north Westland in shrub and around calcium-rich rocks.
