By: Forestfarm

A superb hybrid with the best qualities of each parent: Outstanding fragrance from O. fragrans (China) and increased hardiness over that species from O. heterophyllus (Japan). Blooms almost continuously from late summer until Fall. More solidly hardy throughout zone 7 than O. fragrans.
