A selection of our tall, willowy, old-fashioned variety, 'Sweet Heaven' has lavender flowers and a rich scent laden with the fragrance of lilacs mixed with a hint of almond extract, or perhaps of hyacinths, as a customer and fellow gardener advises. Breathe deep, you will enjoy this new variety, ours exclusively. Performed well in summer heat and drought this year, and continued in graceful bloom all season. Poisonous.
