It is an evergreen shrub to 45 cm (18 in) high with oval, deep green, rather thick leaves that have an unpleasant smell if bruised. It is grown for its neat habit, good coverage of branches and long flowering time. It is also valued for its rough, grey trunk which tends to get lighter in colour with age. The Serissa flowers practically all year round, but particularly from spring to fall (autumn). The flowers are funnel-shaped and mostly white in colour. Cultivars with double flowers or variegated leaves are also available. Pink Snow Rose has pale pink flowers and leaves edged off-white. General Care: The Serissa is an indoorplant. It needs as much light as possible and should be kept in a well-aired area where there is plenty of light and a temperature between 13-18 degrees C (55-65 degrees F). It should be kept away from drafts and kept outside during the summer in partial shade. Prune after flowering, when in growth and when the new shoots have developed to several nodes. Leave at least 4-5 leaves. Repot every two years in Spring, remember to root prune as well. Water plentifully and frequently. Feed with a slow yielding organic fertilizer.
