Azara

Azara

Fine hardy or half-hardy shrubs (ord. Bixinese) of evergreen habit, and bearing sweetly scented flowers. They look well on walls, but show their habit better when grown as bushes. They are increased by cuttings struck in sandy soil under glass with a little bottom heat, and succeed in loam, leaf mould, and sand.

In cold localities it may be necessary to give the plants a little protection. Microphylla, however, appears to be hardy almost everywhere.
