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:

An easy water-wise improvement in lawn areas is to change high output spray sprinkler nozzles to low-flow rotators.

You'll have less runoff and be less likely to apply more water than is needed.
