Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A rich, fruity fragrance is what sets this species apart from the others. The leaves are deeply cut and the flowers are a rose-pink with a hint of peach and a white center. Each petal is highlighted by a pronounced veining which adds the illusion of depth to the overall beauty of this plant. It is a reliable bloomer and has the ability to continue flowering well into the summer season. Growth is robust. A mature specimen will spread and develop woody stems. A great addition to the scented garden.
Apricot is one of the larger flowering scented varieties having lovely crimson and white flowers. Aromatic scented leaves, nice full growth habit.
