Lush utilitarian shrubs with fragrant blooms. A popular landscape plants due to their durability, rich green color, and fragrant white flowers. Although they can grow quite large if unattended, they are easy to maintain at any selected height. Plants are armored with dual spines that form along stems just under the foliage. This makes them ideal candidates for home protective plants under windows, for privacy screening and for perimeter plantings away from walkways or public traffic areas. While they are drought tolerant once mature, they will grow more steadily with moderate regular watering initially in well-drained soils. White, five-petaled, fragrant flowers appear throughout the growing season. Flowers are followed by red to purple small, plum-like fruits that provide their common name.
