Description:
The large yellow-green flower heads of Summer Scentsation™ produce a spectacular summer display across the Christmas to early autumn period, and the attractive perfume adds a heady touch to the festive season. The shiny grey-green leaves are a bright contrast to darker foliage even when not in flower, and the clean trunk supports this small tree of 4-6 m high x 3-4 m wide ~ a perfect scale for all gardens. So important is Summer Scentsation™ as a food source for a wide range of small birds that it should be at the top of your garden planning list, whether you live near the seaside or in drier inland climates. The flowers also last for a long time in a vase.
