Comments:
This free suckering shrub should be pruned immediately after flowering. Has fragrant flowers that are whitish-yellow in color. A relatively new introduction, but does well in naturalistic sites, especially woodland gardens adjacent to paths where the interesting flowers can be enjoyed. Produces good autumn color.
