Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Exceptionally large flowers open pale pink and then turn white. Though rated at 6 feet in 10 years will easily surpass that over time. Give it plenty of room to expand it's branches and deliver its delicious spring fragrance.

Known as the best white form of the 'Loderi' group. The huge flowers open pale pink and then become white. Deliciously fragrant. A magnificent plant that will some day approach the proportions and size of a tree. Allow plenty of room and give wind and sun protection. (fortunei ssp. fortunei x griffithianum)

Large and very fragrant flowers open pink and mature pure white above leaves that can measure up to a foot long. The stems are burgundy, the bark on the trunk is perfectly smooth. Midseason bloom. AGM winner.
