Cosmic White™ is just about bullet proof, it is a large
evergreen shrub which will grow pretty well anywhere
and tolerates most soil conditions. It grows to around
1.5-2 metres tall. It is ideal for roadside plantings, where
it can live on natural rainfall once established or simply
great in a garden. Cosmic White produces masses of
larger white flowers compared to common
Rhaphiolepsis. It flowers heavily in spring, with spot
flowering the rest of the year, it is not unusual to see
some flowers on Cosmic White all year round when other forms have finished flowering.
