Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fragrant flowers and a never-ending display of luscious pink blooms greet the container gardener through this impressive performer. Great for either the potted windowsill or a hanging basket, it flowers profusely year-round and when given a little sunlight and high humidity, a light, sweet fragrance greets the senses. This cultivar takes is vigor from its parent B. nitida odorata a plant that grows easily and branches well. The only thing that stops this wonderful hybrid from flowering is the need for a hard pruning, which it takes with ease.
