I had this planted in mostly shade and it was stunning! Very fragrant, and the moths loved eating the nectar at night. Huge blooms, and several on each stem. Mine was about 24-30" tall, and did not need to be staked. Even though it was not protected from wind, the stems were strong and it stayed upright.

Neutral smiln32 On Nov 24, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote:

This plant grows fairly tall - reaching a height of up to 40". It looks a lot like Stargazer, but the white margins are thinner and the color appears to be a bit more red. Flowers appear in July and bloom into August. Because it is a taller variety, it might need to be staked.
