Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A large vigorous species with bold foliage and huge, highly fragrant white to white-flushed pink flowers in mid-spring. Smooth cinnamon bark and one of the parents of the Loderi grex of hybrids. Grown from seed collected in the wild from the western end of the range of the specie – these seedlings represent the “typical” form. One of my very favorite species and a stunning plant in flower.
