Little Emerald - Tabernaemontana corymbosa

 Purchased this plant from Rosemount Nursery in 2019 for $20.

It lasted just months, suddenly lost leaves and died, nothing seemed to help, further reading on care suggests perhaps it was put into too strong a sun position too soon.  It was in front of the dining room window.

Tabernaemontana corymbosa is found in China and some other adjacent countries.  This attractive shrub has glossy dark green foliage and faintly sweet scented white flowers which are produced all year round.  Best grown in a full sun to partly shaded position where it will reach 50cm.  Ideal for pots.

Didn't even get a pic, this from the net.

We went through a bit of a tough time with not only this plant dying but also a Red Ixoria purchased at the same time, put us off using the nursery for a bit.
