Description
Carissa macrocarpa is a hardy evergreen shrub native to South Africa. It is valued for its glossy dark green foliage, fragrant star-shaped white flowers, and attractive growth form, making it ideal for hedges, borders, and ornamental landscaping in warm climates like Cyprus. This plant blooms from spring to summer and can grow up to 3 meters tall and wide under favorable conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates drought once established. Low-maintenance and resilient, Carissa macrocarpa also serves well in containers and is a favorite for coastal and urban gardens.
