Luculia gratissima Early Dawn

Luculia Early Dawn is reputed to be one of the best fragrant flowered shrubs with fragrance likened to gardenia and vanilla. It is a beautiful semi-evergreen plant with magnificent large, soft glossy-green leaves. Sizable clusters of delightfully fragrant light pink flowers are produced in early winter. Early Dawn makes a lovely specimen shrub in any garden or a stunning semi-hedge. After flowering prune back to half height and follow up with an application of slow-release fertiliser to encourage new growth and maintain a neat compact habit.
