Read detailed description :

The perfume emanating from these large cream flowers is irresistable and captivating. The abundant flowering starts in May-June and will periodically repeat until autumn. Forms a compact and rounded bush with persistant, shiny and dark green leaves. Plant in a rich, fresh and well drained soil in a sun-veiled exposure. Avoid exposing towards the East as a direct winter sun could burn vegetation during frosts. Ideal in sheltered rock gardens, bordering terraces or grown in pots that can be moved inside in winter.
