  • Description

  • Notes

The growth of this plant is lower and more compact than the 'Mystery' variety. It grows 3'-4' high and as wide. Its foliage is smaller, but has the same dark, glossy green color as the 'Mystery' variety. Its white double flowers are 1.5" wide and are highly fragrant. It needs sun to part shade for growth, and it blooms more profusely than the 'Mystery'.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
