Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Better than the irresistible fragrance of a candy store, these long chains of white flowers attract children large and small. The sweet candy-scented blooms open from spring through fall but never open all at once, inviting sweet anticipation. This strong, vigorous grower from the West Indies can be pruned any time and it will quickly come back into bloom.
