This is a highly ornamental evergreen plant, with rather large opposite leaves and showy white and fragrant flowers in loose and terminal corymbs. Hardy only in warmer temperate regions. It requires a well- drained, light and sandy soil, and sunny, somewhat sheltered position; it especially dislikes moisture during the winter, and its perishing is more often due to an excess of moisture than to the cold. Propagated by greenwood cuttings under glass in summer, and by suckers, which it produces freely; also, by seeds sown in spring.

It is a rare species, [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to only seven sites in [[Fresno County, California|Fresno]] and [[Madera County, California|Madera]] Counties, where it grows in [[chaparral]] between 340-1340 m altitude between the San Joaquin and King rivers. It is well adapted to [[wildfire]], reproducing by stump sprouts after burning; natural seedlings are rare.
