Dwarf Simpson's Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans, compacta) is a compact and versatile shrub that grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Thriving in full sun or partial shade, it prefers moist but well-drained calcareous or sandy soils. Its showy white flowers, resembling delicate fireworks, bloom throughout spring and summer, adding charm to any garden.

The reddish-orange fruit provides a valuable food source for birds, while the flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it a pollinator-friendly choice.
