Description With early and long blooming and a tidy form, this white flowering variety has all the great characteristics of its parent, Perfume Princess®, but with no trace of pink in its blooms. The upright form with gently arching foliage is ideal near a window, entryway, or pathway where the highly fragrant blooms with soft citrus overtones can be enjoyed. Evergreen.
Bloom Time Mid-winter to spring
Deciduous/Evergreen Evergreen
Special Features Attracts Pollinators
Problems/Solutions Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant
Growth Rate Moderate
Flower Attributes Fragrant, Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers
Landscape Use Border, Container, Hedge
Design Ideas This attractive and versatile evergreen shrub with upright and slightly spreading habit is perfect for foundation planting. Position in the garden near a window, doorway or path, where the sweet scent will add fragrance to home and garden from winter to late spring. If planting space is minimal, feature in a decorative pot for cool-season enjoyment. Consider pairing containers of spring bulbs and summer flowering perennials, placed to the foreground to create a mixed container display for season-long color.
Flower Color White
Foliage Color Green
Care Instructions Provide enriched, neutral to slightly acidic, very well-drained soil; avoid heavy, wet, poorly drained sites. Add compost to improve drainage or plant in raised beds. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Apply fertilizer after flowering.
History Perfume Princess® White is a natural mutation of Perfume Priness®, discovered by the original breeder of the plant, Mark Jury of Australia.
