Positive photosynthesis On May 10, 2007, photosynthesis from Tampa, FL (Zone 9a) wrote:

I planted this selection in my yard back in early February... it had one flower left on it, which was sweetly scented.
I used rich soil and plenty of leaf mulch, and I water it perhaps twice a week (it has been dry here lately). It gets about 5 hours of sun during the day, with morning shade.
I plan to train it up into a small tree, although it's just a little shrub now.
In general, this is an attractive and tough plant.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Tampa, Florida
Waxhaw, North Carolina
