“Cosmic White” is an easy care shrub grown for its impressive flowering. It features sprays of white flowers which literally coat the plant through late winter and spring. The lush and glossy, dark green foliage provides a lovely contrast to the flowers. It grows densely to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site that does not dry out. It is tolerant of moderate frost and coastal environments. “Cosmic White” is commonly included in a mixed planting, used in “white” gardens, trimmed into a hedge, grown as a backdrop for smaller plants, or planted around outdoor living areas.
