This is a wonderful Hem. that I planted beside my steps going up to my garden shed - so I can smell its wonderful fragrance when I pass by it! Mine doesn't stay in bloom as long as I'd like, but it's a keeper!

This species has done very well for me in Zone 8b Florida. It is a hard Dormant, and is late to break dormancy, but then grows fast and blooms heavily. The foliage has a blue tint to it, which is an another plus.
The flowers open in the evening, and close the middle of the next morning. They are extremely fragrant. I have seen Hummingbirds visit the blooms.
