Fragrant, floriferous and fuss-free with a naturally dense habit. A continuous flush of pink-blushed flower clusters complement the finely variegated grey-green, ivory-white edged foliage from spring to fall. Perfect near a walkway, patio, or window. Semi-deciduous in average winters; may drop all foliage in coldest zones, leafing out again in spring.

| Design Ideas | Pair with dark-foliage plants to showcase the champagne-colored flowers and elegant ivory-edged foliage. Use at the edge of a tree understory, where it will shine in the dappled sunlight, and bask in the gentle fall through winter sun, when the trees are bare. Plant en masse to create a fragrant pathway to a front gate or garden destination. Plant a pair on opposite sides to frame entry steps or a patio door. Situate adjacent to seating areas where the intoxicating, spicy-sweet scent can be enjoyed all spring, through the summer months, and well into fall. |
