Comments:
There are many fragrant flowers in spring but some of them may be hidden by the dense foliage. After a few years growth, old plants may be rejuvenated by pruning to ground level in spring. Has stout green-red stems with little side branching. When growing conditions are good, this species colonizes readily.
