    The sweet fragrance is most memorable as this fast growing species produces full clusters of double, pure white flowers. Like a perfect bouquet, blooms form freely on the growing tips of this upright grower.

    By: Logee's Plants for Home & Garden

    Intensely fragrant blooms, composed of tightly packed pink-tinged petals, borne in large clusters in summer. Huge velvety mid-green tropical foliage. An easily grown tropical perennial that may spread vigorously if left to its own devices. Consider enjoying its fragrance from a container.
