Medium evergreen shrub (2-4 m) growing well in moist Subtropical climates. Flowers bloom in early Spring and produce a fragrant, although sometimes mildly unpleasant or overpowering scent. Frequently used as a hedge plant in gardens.

Habitat:

Native to Okinawa and other members of the Ryukyu Islands off the coast of Japan. Does well in light shade with ample moisture.

Notes:

Very happy honeybee is taking a sip of nectar. Bees love these flowers, and tumble around clumsily with their abundance.
