The flowers are mildly fragrant and are produced through winter and spring. They are complemented with glossy foliage which emerges bronze and matures to become dark green. The combination of flowers and foliage is very aesthetic. This evergreen typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. Leaf colouring and flowering will be reduced as the levels of shade are increased, however. It will tolerant a moderate frost once established. “Temple Bells” makes for a superb specimen in a small garden and is well suited to growing in a container, adding to mixed plantings, using in cottage gardens, or planting around outdoor living areas.
