Compact shrub with finely cut palmate mid green evergreen leaves and masses of sweetly scented white flowers borne in spring and often again in late summer. The flowers smother the shrub so liberally the foliage can hardly be seen in spring. If cut back after the flowers have faded there is sometimes a second flush of flowers in late summer, but never as prolific. An interesting shrub though for the delicate almost filigree type foliage, quite apart from the flowers, requiring little maintenance when planted in sun or partial shade in a good well drained soil. Hardy and will grow eventually to c 1.5m x 1.5m, although often a little slow to establish at first.
