Glossy dark green leaves. Supposed to have nice fall color and very fragrant flowers. I dug a new section of the shrub border of our side garden especially to incorporate this one - so we have high hopes of its loveliness.
After being attacked by rabbits in its first winter, it took a season to recover. In the second winter, we protected it with a wire cage; it rewarded us with beautiful blooms in early May.
