This species from the mountains of southern China thrives on open and deforested areas, being always one of the first plants to grow back in this situation. This characteristic makes it easy to cultivate in sunny and subtropical areas.

This is a shrub with deep green foliage, contrasting with big white flowers, and it is said to smell great, atracting bees and beetles. At young ages, the bark becomes orange, making the whole plant very atractive.
