<p>A genus of shrubs from the Mediterranean across to E. Asia, very valuable for gardeners in exposed coastal areas for their ability to thrive in salt-laden air. Can form an attractive flowering screen or else grow as a specimen. Prune after flowering to stop them getting too 'leggy'. Very deep rooted and drought-tolerant - plant in any soil that is not too damp in full sun. </p>
