Description

This perennial can reach 2-3' tall and has white, showy, fragrant flowers. This plant is great for cut flowers. The foliage is soft looking, almost like a succulent in a light green color. This bushy, clumping, woody perennial does well in poor soil and needs medium watering with well drained soil. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more bloom in summer.

Water Saving Tip:

Group plants with similar water needs together so that some plants aren't over watered to meet the needs of their more thirsty neighbors.

Never include shrub and lawn areas in the same sprinkler zone.
