A cultivar of V. x burkwoodii with lustrous, dark green leaves which are smaller and finer textured than V. x burkwoodii. The fine textured branches give the overall habit a more refined look. The flower buds have the least amount of pink of the group, appearing almost white. Fragrant, 2-3" flowers cover the shrub in great profusion. Although persistent, red fruits maturing to black are sparse and not effective. Zone 4
