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.
