    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    BIG version of a famous spreading perennial grown for its incredible evocative fragrance! Nodding bells of white on stems 12” tall in spring fill the air with scent. Easy in well drained moist soils...prefers colder winter climates, may struggle in Zones 7-8. Perfect for a lightly shaded area under deciduous trees where it won’t overrun dainty plantings. Will grow under walnut trees. . USDA Z3
