Fragrance: Huge honey,lemon scent
Light: partial sun/light shade
Soil: our standard mix .. with a bit more conditioner for better drainage
Planting/Care: Once planted .. DO NOT MOVE .. it hates to be moved. Don't
plant anything near the roots because they hate to be disturbed. Prune only by
picking flowers .. doesn't like excessive pruning.
Propagation: Easily propagated from cuttings. Heck we've even just stuck
some in the dirt and about 25% lived.
Blooms: feb- march
Notes: This is our FAVORITE winter plant. One or two cuttings of flowers
will fill an entire room with it's wonderful scent. What a wonderful pick me up
in the middle of a dreary February.
